The death of Sūrya-varman II, some time after 1145 A.D., was again followed by a period of troubles in course of which the king of Champā invaded Kambuja and plundered the capital city in A.D. 1177. Although the king of Kambuja was killed, the country was saved by Jaya-varman VII who defeated the Chams in a naval engagement and made himself master of Kambuja in A.D. 1181.
