The details in the ‘records of sarira enshrinement’ excavated at the western tower of Mireuksaji (彌勒寺址: the temple site of the greatest Buddhist temple in the kingdom of Baekje) had quite a few controversies compared with those written in the legend of initial foundation in the 『Samgukyusa』. However, the ‘records of sarira enshrinement’ which was merely a short record was rather untrustworthy. What the <Samgukyusa> says about Baekje's Sunhwa the empress first started the foundation of Mireuksa still seemed to be worthy of esteem. Moreover, it revealed that the Sahtak's empress who showed her being in the ‘records of sarira enshrinement’ could not be the real mother of Uija the King. As a result examined from different perspectives, Sunhwa the empress should be regarded as the natural mother of Uija the King. The analysis of ‘records of sarira enshrinement’ shows that Baekje had a master plan related to the Mireuk belief of the enormous Buddhism in the land of Iksan, Jeonrabuk-do. The ‘records of sarira enshrinement’ was also the key point that revealed the transition of the authority relation from Baekje's Mu the King to Uija the King. And it functioned as an important historical document that studied the political, social backgrounds not to mention the religion of Baekje.
