Rudravarman ( km, រុទ្រវម៌្ម, ) was the last king of Funan, as mentioned by the Chinese annals. He was the eldest son of Jayavarman Kaundinya and was born of a concubine. After the death of his father, he murdered the legitimate heir, his half-brother Gunavarman, and seized the throne in the year 514.

Kulaprabhavati
Kulaprabhavati ( km, កុលប្រភាវតី, ALA-LC: ; 6th-century CE) was a queen regnant of Funan (in present-day Cambodia from 514 to 517. She was the first queen in Cambodia noted to have been an autonomous wielder of the ultimate political authority since the legendary Queen Soma. She was married to King Jayavarman Kaundinya of Funan, one of the first historically attested monarchs in Cambodian history. Kulaprabhavati is referred to in an inscription as ‘the great queen, principal spouse of King Jayavarman’. The Chinese account ''History of the Liang'' states that king Jayavarman of Funan died in 514, and ‘the son of a concubine, Rudravarman, killed his younger brother, son of the legitimate wife, and ascended the throne’. It is attested that Jayavarman had another son named Gunavarman, and since all inscriptions mentioning Gunavarman and Kulaprabhavati are Vaishnavite, it is possible that Gunavarman was the son of queen Kulaprabhavati and king Jayavarman, ...

Jayavarman Kaundinya
Jayavarman Kaundinya ( km, កៅណ្ឌិន្យជ័យវរ្ម័ន, ) was a ruler of Funan. He died in 514. Biography According to the Chinese annals, he reigned over a prosperous kingdom influenced by Shaivism, but at the same time other religions were equally well represented in his kingdom. An inscription was also attributed to his wife, Queen Kulaprabhavati, who laid the foundation of Vaishnavism in the kingdom. On the other hand, two events confirm that Buddhism was also well established. The first concerns was his demand in 484 CE for military aid, delivered by a Buddhist monk named Nàqiéxiān/Nāgasena (那伽仙) to the emperor Wudi against the Kingdom of Lam Ap in Central Vietnam, guilty of boarding and looting the merchant ships of the country. Even if the request was rejected, the copy preserved by the Chinese archives shows a perfect knowledge of the Buddhist canon that only a thorough study can allow. The second index relates to the sending to Ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fu-nan
Funan (; km, ហ៊្វូណន, ; vi, Phù Nam, Chữ Hán: ) was the name given by Chinese cartographers, geographers and writers to an ancient Indianized state—or, rather a loose network of states ''(Mandala)''—located in mainland Southeast Asia centered on the Mekong Delta that existed from the first to sixth century CE. The name is found in Chinese historical texts describing the kingdom, and the most extensive descriptions are largely based on the report of two Chinese diplomats, Kang Tai and Zhu Ying, representing the Eastern Wu dynasty who sojourned in Funan in the mid-3rd century CE.Higham, C., 2001, The Civilization of Angkor, London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Funan is known in the modern languages of the region as ''Vnum'' (Old Khmer: ), Nokor Phnom ( km, នគរភ្នំ, , ), ( th, ฟูนาน), and (Vietnamese). However, the name ''Funan'' is not found in any texts of local origin from the period, and it is not known what name the people o ...
