from what i’ve read and analyzed, Sang Sapurba & Sang Nila Utama were both exist at the same time. They were refered by modern historians as Adityavarman (Sang Sapurba)as the last Sri Vijayan prince who went to the west part of Sumatera to open what now is called Minangkabau land (Kerajaan Pagaruyung) and Sang Nila Utama, the younger one, is called as Parameswara, with the remaining Sri Vijayans noblemen, records-keepers, knights and guards set sailed to the east where they roamed island to island around Riau archipelago to seek for a new land and finally he stopped at Melaka to rebuild the old kingdom.

there’s only one prince left after all srivijaya kingdom fall, the name is PARAMESWARA, true according to the Malay Annals was knew “Sang Nila Utama” but about “sang suparba and sang maniaka” it’s only a myth, the myth of two person event more old then srivijaya kingdom.
the name was not really Sang Suparba but Sang siperba, a demigod which descend in “Bukit Siguntang” and search of the true king for human. that’s a part of the myth in our people.

Yes, according to the Malay Annals, there were three - Sang Utama was the youngest. The eldest, Sang Suparba was made raja of Minangkabau while the second Sang Maniaka was raja of Tanjong Pura (somewhere in Borneo, i believe) You can read more at http://infopedia.nlb.gov.sg/articles/SIP_93_2005-01-26.html

There were three princes? I only knew Sang Nila Buana as the one who gave the name Singapore to the simple island of Temasek…
