Indrapura (Khmer)
# Indrapura (Khmer)

According to inscription on the stele of Sdok Kok Thom, Indrapura (Khmer: ឥន្ទ្របុរៈ, Thai: อินทรปุระ) or Amarendrapura (Khmer: អមរិន្ទ្របុរៈ, Thai: อมเรนทรปุระ) was the first capital of Jayavarman II reign about 781, before the foundation of Khmer Empire in 802.

## Location

George Coedes and Claude Jacques identified it with Banteay Prei $Nokor,^{:98}$ near Kompong Cham, Cambodia, while Michael Vickery assumes it was closer to Kompong Thom. Some scholars have proposed Ak Yum as the center of Amarendrapura.
