c8.24

This Jaya-varman is the earliest king of Fu-nan whose name occurs in Sanskrit inscriptions to which reference will be made later. His reign, extending at least from A.D. 484 to 514, marks the beginning of what may be called the truly historical period of Fu-nan, as we know a great many details about him and can trace the continuous history of the country up to modern times.
