		Jayavarman reigned when the Khmer Empire was still at its height, embracing much of mainland Indochina and many of its peoples-Thais, the Chain of central Vietnam, and various Lao and Malay groups.
		Ta Probin, constructed in honor of Jayavarman's mother, lies outside the walls to the east and is in the wildest condi-tion.

		It was the centrepiece of Jayavarman VII's building program, and the similarity of the faces on the temple's towers to other statues of the king have led many scholars to the conclusion that the faces are, at least in part, representations of Jayavarman VII (although Avalokitesvara is another possibility).
		Under the reign of Jayavarman VIII in the mid-13th century the temple was converted to Hinduism.
		Its bas-reliefs, later additions of Jayavarman VIII, are in stark contrast to those of the outer: rather than set-piece battles and processions, the smaller canvases offered by the inner gallery are decorated for the most part with scenes from Hindu mythology.

		After escaping from the Javans, he vigorously pursued a position of power and became the Khmer king in 790 A.D. In 802, he proclaimed himself to be a universal monarch of Khmer in a ritual ceremony borrowed from Hinduism as a "god-king" or deva-raja.
		Jayavarman VII, however, was determined to fight against the intruders and was able to recapture the Angkor's capital, where he ascended the throne in 1181.
		The reign of Jayavarman VII was marked as the peak period of the Angkor Empire as well as of the Khmer Civilization, which began to decline gradually after the death of this great king in 1219 A.D. During the reign of Jayavarman VIII, the Mongol troops of Kublai Khan attacked the Angkor Empire in 1283.

	Buddhist Sites in Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia
		Jayavarman's Buddhism seems to have been a revised version of the Brahmanical religion which previous Khmer kings had exploited to deify their own persons.
		The central deity in Jayavarman's religion was Lokeshvara, "Lord of the Worlds", and rebuilding Angkor Thom on a stupendously grand scale, the king created a "Buddhist" city as a monument to Lokeshvara, who was an aspect of Jayavarman's divine self.
		This convergence of king and deity is still visible in the portrait masks of Jayavarman carved on the four faces of the Bayon temple towers of Angkor Thorn.
