Jayavarman Kaundinya (Khmer: កៅណ្ឌិន្យជ័យវរ្ម័ន, Kauṇḍinya Jayavarman) was a ruler of Funan. He died in 514.

Biography

According to the Chinese annals, he reigned over a prosperous kingdom influenced by

Vaishnavism[3]
in the kingdom.

On the other hand, two events confirm that

Kingdom of Lam Ap in Central Vietnam, guilty of boarding and looting the merchant ships of the country. Even if the request was rejected, the copy preserved by the Chinese archives shows a perfect knowledge of the Buddhist canon that only a thorough study can allow.[4] The second index relates to the sending to China of two Buddhist monks, Mandrasena in 503 CE and Sanghapala in 508 CE.[5]

Jayavarman Kaundinya sent two more embassies in

middle empire in 511 CE and in 514 CE, the year of his death. According to inscription K. 40, his eldest son, Rudravarman, born of a concubine, then murdered the legitimate heir, Guṇavarman, to seize the throne and was the last ruler of Funan, that is mentioned in the Chinese annals; until at least 517 he was involved in a power struggle with his step mother, who was supported by his opponents.[1]
