Yasovarman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yasovarman was a Khmer king who reigned from 889-910 AD. Some Khmer legends hold that he died of leprosy. The Lolei, Phnom Bakheng, and the East Baray reservoir are monuments to this ruler, all located near Cambodia's national treasure, a later construction, Angkor Wat. Phnom Bakheng was one of three hilltop temples created in the Khmer Empire's Angkor capital region during Yasovarman's reign, the other two being Phnom Krom and Phnom Bok.
