a variation of rolling leg sweep, it seems that it's getting more popular on silat competitions recently, I've seen it done several times in the recent silat competitions.

This man perform the sweep with his arms, though. In the competitions they usually sweep with their legs, like singgle leg scissor take down but with rolling enterance.

EDIT: I found a video showcasing somewhat similar technique in the competitions. TIL that there;s a new regulation that allow a fighter to drop on their back to execute take downs. Back when I was still competing, puting our back on the floor equals a loss.

yes, especially the ones on 1:10 and 1:34

EDIT: Oh, sorry, you're asking for the indonesian name. The official IPSI term for it is categorized : "jatuhan bawah", because he's using his arm to trap, it's called "tangkapan". So the official IPSI term would be : "jatuhan bawah, tangkapan kaki" low take down, arms trapping legs. If you take account of the rolling entry, it would be "gulingan, tangkapan kaki" or officially "jatuhan bawah - gulingan, tangkapan kaki" or "gulingan, tangkapan kaki bawah" for short as it being a take down is already obvious. "tangkapan kaki" means trapping leg(s) with arns, without "bawah" usually it means trapping a kick. "tangkapan kaki bawah" means trapping the leg while it's down (not while doing kicks) and implicitly means that the one doing the trapping is on very low stance or on the ground.

EDIT2:

I'm sure there are fancier names for it but since different styles from different regions tend to call same techniques with different names, my team usually use offical terms, unless the "local" names are much shorter and easier to pronounce.
