King of Champa

King of Champa is the title ruler of Champa. Champa rulers often use two Hinduist style titles: raja-di-raja ( "king of kings"; written here in Devanagari since the Cham used their own Cham script) or po-tana-raya ("lord of all territories").

During the reign of Vikrantavarman I, also known as Prakāśādharma, the title of the king of Champa changed from "great king" (maharaja) to "king of kings" (raja-di-raja).

The regnal name of the Champa rulers originated from the Hindu tradition, often consisting of titles and aliases. Titles (prefix) like: Jaya ( "victory"), Maha ( "great"), Sri ( "glory"). Aliases (stem) like: Bhadravarman, Vikrantavarman, Rudravarman, Simhavarman, Indravarman, Paramesvaravarman, Harivarman... Among them, the suffix -varman belongs to the warrior class and is only for those leaders of the Champa Alliance.

The last king of Champa was deposed by Minh Mạng in 1832.
