According to inscription on the stele of Sdok Kok Thom, Indrapura ( Khmer: ឥន្ទ្របុរៈ) or Amarendrapura ( Khmer: អមរិន្ទ្របុរៈ) 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, [1]: 98 near Kompong Cham, [2] Cambodia, while Michael Vickery assumes it was closer to Kompong Thom. [3] Some scholars have proposed Ak Yum as the center of Amarendrapura. [4]
