On his return to Champā Rudravarman IV found it to be a seat of anarchy and civil war, as several persons had proclaimed themselves as kings in different parts of the kingdom.

D., but we do not know definitely the name of the king or kings of Champā to whom these may be attributed. Amid these disorders Rudravarman IV passes from our view.¹
