For historical inscriptions, scholars think that there is no other inscription fighter Cham king, but the king He probably is not the king of Cham who control the entire Champ. Maybe a little king, who controls a kingdom that borders next to Khmer.

Prince India strategic warlords Brief biography of Prince India strategic warlords: Prince India strategic warlords old when he went to learn moral justice in the penis is inside Wat Phou South Laos today.
