Indravarman VI
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indravarman VI (also known by his pre-regnal name Ba Dich Lai) was a King of Champa from 1440 to 1441. After his father's death in 1440, Indravarman VI turned against the Khmers. In order to maintain Dai Viet neutrality, he gave up the important province of Indrapura, which had been the royal residence of the Cham rulers. Now that the threat of the Dai Viet had ended, Indravarman turned his attention to the Khmer Empire and succeeded in defeating its king, Ponhea Yat, causing the final desertion of Angkor. Now relieved from the threats of its neighbors, Champa entered a time of peace and spirituality.[1]
