Biography
Mahendravarman was a king of the kingdom of Chenla, modern day Cambodia, during the 6th century. Chenla was the direct predecessor of the Khmer empire. Citrasena was a close relative of Bhavavarman I (Template:Langx), whom he joined to conquer the Kingdom of Funan, and whom he succeeded as king and adopting the name Mahendravarman.[1][2] After Bhavavarman's death, Mahendravarman took residence in the capital at Sambor Prei Kuk while the same time Hiraṇyavarman (Template:Langx) was ruling Cambodia.
Mahendravarman sent an ambassador to Champa to "ensure friendship between the two countries."[1]Template:Rp[2]Template:Rp
