  Kambuja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This name is obviously derived from Sanskrit Kamboja, the name of a well-known ancient tribe of Indo-Iranian affinities, still living as Kamboj and Kamboh in northern India and Pakistan.
The "Kamboja" frequently referenced in ancient Sanskrit literature always refers to Kamboja located in the Uttarapatha of the South Asia, and not to Trans-Gangetic Kambuja or Kamboja located in Indochina, as is erroneously supposed by some writers.
However, the later (Medieval) Pali chronicles Chamadevivamsa, Jinakalamali, Mulasasna etc., composed in Chiangmai (Thailand), all used Kamboja to refer to the Indochinese Kambuja.

During the early ninth to the mid-fifteenth centuries, it was known as Kambuja, originally the name of an early north Indian state, from which the current forms of the name have been derived.
Kambuja's decline during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries probably was hastened by the deterioration of the irrigation system.
Preaching austerity and the salvation of the individual through his or own her efforts, Theravada Buddhism did not lend doctrinal support to a society ruled by an opulent royal establishment maintained through the virtual slavery of the masses.
