There are a few inscriptions in Indian languages from Laos,¹¹⁹ mostly Sanskrit records of the Khmer empire from the seventh to the twelfth century A.D. (e.g., K 363, 367). An interesting early record (ca. fifth century) is the Văt Luong Kău inscription of King Devānīka, recording the foundation of a new Kurukṣetra *tīrtha* (K 365). The Sai Fong inscription (K 368) of Jayavarman VII provides a detailed account of the dedication and regulations of a hospital.
