his father was the `` galmunwang '' kim seup-bo , who was a grandson of naemul isageum .
his mother was lady josaeng , the daughter of nulji isageum .
jijeung began his program of legal reform in 502 , when he outlawed the custom of burying servants with their masters .
in 503 , he formally established the country 's name as `` silla , '' it having previously been represented by a variety of chinese characters .
at the same time , he took the title of `` wang '' , meaning `` king '' ; he had previously borne the native silla title of `` maripgan '' .
jijeung continued this program in the following years , with a reform of ceremonial dress in 504 and of local administration in 505 .
in that reform , he incorporated the old territory of siljik-guk into the silla administrative system .
he established a market in eastern gyeongju in 509 .
in 512 , he sent kim isabu to conquer the island nation of usan-guk .
after his death , jijeung received a temple name , the name by which he is now known .
he was the first silla king to receive a temple name .
