v6.c41.s17.2
There is a well-established tradition, which has been recognized by European authorities² also, that in 443 B.C., Preathong, a Hindu prince, son of the king of Indraprastha (the modern Delhi), emigrated with a large number of his followers and settled at Choukan, north of Angar. ‘In 125 B.C. the Chinese are said to have conquered the Cambodians. There is also a record that, in the first centuries of the Christian era, emigrants from Madras made their way into Cambodia, introducing the Brahman faith, the Sanskrit alphabet, and Indian rites and customs.’³
