According to inscription on the stele of Sdok Kok Thom, Indrapura or Amarendrapura was the first capital of Jayavarman II reign about 781, before the foundation of Khmer Empire in 802.

George Coedes and Claude Jacques identified it with Banteay Prei Nokor,[1]: 98  near Kompong Cham,[2] Cambodia, while Michael Vickery assumes it was closer to Kompong Thom.[3] Some scholars have proposed Ak Yum as the center of Amarendrapura. [4]
