Jaya Indravarman II (Sanskrit: जय इंद्रवर्मन; Chinese: 釋利因陀羅跋摩; ? - 893) was the king of Champa from 854 to 893 and the founder of Champa's Sixth dynasty.[1] During his reign, relations between Champa and China was restored. Chinese historians begin referring Champa by Chang-cheng or the city of Zen in its Sanskrit form. He founded a new capital, Indrapura in modern-day Quang Nam Province.[2]
He authorized the construction of Dong Duong temple, a Mahayana Buddhist monastery located in southeast of My Son. In 889, Khmer ruler Yasovarman I led an invasion of Champa, but was repelled by Indravarman II.[2]
