Biography[edit]
Kambujarajalakshmi was a Princess of King Shreshthavarman of Shreshthapura, and belonged to the oldest line of the Chenla royal dynasty through her mother. According to a traditional version of events, she succeeded king Vira Varman in 575, and was succeeded on the throne by her spouse, Bhavavarman I, who succeeded to the throne by marriage.
However, there are no contemporary sources for her reign, and there are theories that she is a later invention.
