Biography

Rudravarman was the last king of Funan, as mentioned by the Chinese annals.^{[citation needed]} He was the eldest son of Jayavarman Kaundinya and was born of a concubine. After the death of his father, he murdered the legitimate heir, his half-brother Gunavarman, and seized the throne in the year 514. Until at least 517 he was involved in a power struggle with his step mother, Queen Kulaprabhavati, who was supported by his opponents.^[1]

He subsequently sent embassies in China in the years 517, 519, 520, 530, 535 and 539.^{[citation needed]} He even proposed to give a hair of the Buddha to the Emperor of China, if the sovereign agreed to send the monk Che Yun Pao to Funan.^{[citation needed]}
