Sri Dharmasokaraja III (), also known as Chandrabhanu II () or Vaá¹Âà ÂasuràI (à ¸Âà ¸Âà ¸©à ¹Âà ¸ªà ¸¸à ¸£à ¸²à ¸«à ¸°à ¸Âà ¸µà ¹ 1) , was a late 12thâÂÂearly 13th century monarch of Tambralinga, mentioned in the '. He is said to have succeeded his elder brother, Sri Dharmasokaraja II, in 1183 CE.
Thai scholarship has often equated him with Chandrabhanu (III), the ruler renowned for the expansion of TambralingaâÂÂs authority into Lanka; however, Chandrabhanu (III) is generally dated to a reign spanning 1230âÂÂ1262 CE and is therefore understood to have succeeded Sri Dharmasokaraja III. The precise dynastic relationship between Sri Dharmasokaraja III and Chandrabhanu (III) consequently remains a matter of ongoing scholarly debate, since Chandrabhanu (III) is identified as a son of Kalinga Magha of the Polonnaruwa Kingdom, while at the same time being claimed in some traditions to belong to the same dynastic line as the earlier Sri Dharmasokaraja rulers.
