In 1008, a civil war between Harivarman III and general Pam̃r Rauṅ broke out in Champa. Pam̃r Rauṅ was suppressed. In 1010, he sent an embassy to Song China to seek investiture, and five years later he sent another embassy.[1] During these envoys, the Cham brought Champa rice to China.[2]
An inscription dated 1013 records:
"In [the year] of the Śaka king 935. This was the time when Y.P.K the victorious Śrī Harivarmadeva ruled the country of Campā from Rūlauy to the Far East; where Paṅrauṅ; where Paṅrauṅ (native) of Dauk Jā in the area (paliy) of Manicya was general there; where (the latter) was at Panrāṅ: where he restored (punaḥ) the capatī and gave (the image of) his highness the little [goddess]."
Harivarman III died in 1018 and was succeeded by an unknown ruler.
