King Suryavarman II was a famous Khmer king of the Angkor period. The most important achievement of his reign was the construction of Angkor Wat, one of the finest temples in the world. However, his rise to power was filled with bloodshed.
Before his accession, Cambodia had two kings at the same time. One reigned in the capital of Angkor, named King Narathindravarman, who succeeded King Hasaravarman III. Another king, Dharanidravarman I, succeeded his father, Jayavarman VI, at the capital of Mahidol, in the western part of the country. Dharanidravarman I ascended the throne in 1107 and died in 1112 AD, with the death name Paramniskalpattu.
The person who killed King Dharanindvarman I to seize the throne was King Suryavarman II, who was his great-nephew. First, King Suryavarman II killed King Dharanindvarman I, his uncle. He then led an army to fight King Naradindravarman, who reigned in the capital of Angkor, and killed him. Killing both kings, who had been sharing the throne of Cambodia at the same time, allowed King Suryavarman II to reunite the Khmer kingdom.
After the execution of the two kings, he ascended the throne in the capital of Angkor. The coronation ceremony was conducted by the same Brahmin priest, Purohit Tukkar Bandit.
After his ascension to the throne, he reestablished friendly relations with China and sent two diplomatic missions to China, one in 1116 and the other in 1120 AD. King Suryavarman II was a brave warrior. He waged frequent wars, fighting several battles with the Champa kingdom, which had sent troops to invade Cambodia before his reign, when the country was divided and had two kings reigning at the same time.
The war with Champa was successful, and the Khmer captured the capital of Vijaya from 1145 to 1149 and installed his brother-in-law, Harideva, as king there.
Fighting against the Vietnamese who were always conspiring to support the traitors and allowing them to take refuge. Fighting against the Thai king who had rebelled in the upper plains of the Menam River, and fighting against the Mon people at Haripunjey. Because he was such a powerful warrior, the King of China bestowed upon him the high title of Kinpiwpincheng, which probably corresponds to the Khmer word Kam Teng.
During his reign, the Khmer Empire was very extensive, bordering China to the north, the China Sea to the south, from Kotara (present-day Nha Trang, Vietnam) to Bandung Bay (in Malaysia), Burma to the west, and Champa to the east. In addition, King Suryavarman II was a wise and wise leader. He was the first Khmer king to have a firm belief in the Brahman religion of Vishnu, which was very popular in India and Java at that time. He elevated the Brahmanical religion of Vishnu to the state religion.
During his reign, the royal statues enshrined in large temples were no longer Shiva lingas of Isora, but instead Vishnu statues. In the field of construction, Suryavarman II was a king with a great deal of talent, as he continued the construction of the temples of Phnom Chisor, Phnom Santak, Wat Phu, and Preah Vihear. The new structures include the Preah Pithur Temple, the Chao Say Teva Temple, the Dhammananda Temple, the Banteay Samre Temple, and the Angkor Wat Temple, a masterpiece of Khmer art and considered one of the largest religious structures in the world. Angkor Wat is also where the statue of Vishnu is enshrined and perhaps where his remains were buried when he died.
Towards the end of his reign in 1149, the Cham rebelled and killed his brother-in-law, Harideva, who ruled in Vijaya and liberated Champa from Cambodia. King Suryavarman II ascended the throne in 1113 and probably died in 1149 or 1150 CE, with the death name Param Vishnu Loka.
