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

Location

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