c9.74

The reigns of Jaya-varman II and his son and successor cover the period 802 to 877 A.D. According to a Chinese chronicle, written in A.D. 863, the kingdom of Kambuja included the whole of Central Indo-China and touched the frontiers of Yunnan in Southern China. The Arab writers also describe the Khmer kingdom as vast and powerful, the king of which received homage of other kings. Kambuja had thus begun that career of imperialism which made it the dominant power in Indo-China for centuries to come.
