Ritratto di un bhikkuni a Banteay Prei Nokor a Kampong Cham, Cambogia. Alcuni studiosi consideravano Kompong Cham, conosciuto come Indrapura nei periodi pre-Angkor, il centro dell'antico regno di Chenla. Una leggenda del 9th ° secolo parlata e scritta da Sulaiman, un mercante arabo, raccontò una storia di un re di Chenla che fu decapitato da un maharaja di Sabag (Srivijaya). Si pensava che il raid si verificasse nel 790 d.C. Dodici anni dopo (802 d.C.), il re Jayavarman II di Chenla (regnato nel 790-835) dichiarò 'indipendenza' da 'Giua', iniziando l'antico regno Khmer che in seguito costruì Angkor Wat.

Portrait of a bhikkuni at Banteay Prei Nokor in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. Some scholars considered Kompong Cham, known as Indrapura in pre-Angkor periods, the center of ancient Chenla kingdom. A 9th century legend spoken and written by Sulaiman, an Arab merchant, told a story about a Chenla's king that was beheaded by a maharaja of Sabag (Srivijaya). The raid was thought to be occurred in 790 A.D. Twelve years later (802 A.D.), king Jayavarman II of Chenla (reigned 790-835) declared "independence" from "Java", starting the ancient Khmer kingdom that later built Angkor Wat. Sdok Kok Thom inscription, found near the present day border of Thailand-Cambodia, noted that Jayavarman II came from "Java"—considered as Srivijaya-Sailendra area. An ancient script written by Chau Ju-kua (Zhao Rugua), a 13th century Chinese commissioner for international trade who worked for Song Dynasty, identified that Buddhism has been flourishing in the country since Chenla period. "(The people) are devout Buddhists. There are serving (in the temples) some three hundred foreign women: they dance and offer food to the Buddha." --------------------------------------------------- Thalassocracy Srivijaya, maritime silk road, and Buddhist pilgrimage in 7th-11 century Through research over a hundred years, scholars have been successful to recognise that various names used in inscriptions (found in at least four present-day Asian countries—Indonesia, Thailand, India, China), ancient documents of Chinese dynasties and travel notes of Chinese Buddhism pilgrims and Arab merchants—all dated back from 7th to 13th centuries—were referring to Srivijaya empire. Srivijaya (Sribhoga, Bhoga, Shih-li-fo-shih, San-fo-tsi, Sarbaza, Zabag) was a thalassocracy that controlled the traffics of the maritime silk road on Strait of Malacca, that took advantage by acting as middle-man in the sea trade between Arab, India and China from 7th to 11th centuries, and was a center of ancient Buddhism learning outside India.
