[Footnote 267:  But the captivity is only an inference and not a necessary one.  Finot suggests that the ancient royal house of Fu-nan may have resided at Java and have claimed suzerain rights over Camboja which Jayavarman somehow abolished.  The only clear statements on the question are those in the Sdok Kak Thom inscription, Khmer text c. 72, which tell us that Camboja had been dependent on Java and that Jayavarman II instituted a special state cult as a sign that this dependence had come to an end.

It is true that the Hindu colonists of Camboja may have come from the island of Java, yet no evidence supports the idea that Camboja was a dependency of the island about 800 A.D. and the inscriptions of Champa seem to distinguish clearly between Yavadvipa (the island) and the unknown country called Java.  See Finot, Notes d’Epig. pp. 48 and 240.  Hence it seems unlikely that the barbarous pirates (called the armies of Java) who invaded Champa in 787 (see the inscription of Yang Tikuh) were from the island.  The Siamese inscription of Rama Khomheng, c. 1300 A.D., speaks of a place called Chava, which may be Luang Prabang.  On the other hand it does not seem likely that pirates, expressly described as using ships, would have come from the interior.]
