Following the Khmer voluntary evacuation of Champa in $1220,^{:80–81}$ in 1226, Angsaraja took a coronation ceremony (abhiseka) at the city of Vijaya, declaring his regnal name of Jaya Parameśvaravarman "reign with the single parasol over the state of Champa."

As king he restored irrigation works, ruins, and $lingas.^{:171,182}$ He also made great donations of rice fields and slaves of many different contemporary backgrounds, such as Cambodian (kvir), Cham (campa), Chinese (lov), Siamese (syaṁ), Paganese (vukāṁ), to the temple of Po Nagar, Nha Trang.

In 1233/34 Paramesvaravarman installed an image for Svayamutpanna in Phan Rang. He offered war prisoners and trophies to the God of Śrīpatīśvara at the sanctuary of Svayamutpanna. The splendors he donated include 9 captured Khmers, 22 Siamese, one Paganese, and a Khmer male elephant.
