Kulaprabhavati
Kulaprabhavati (, ALA-LC: ; 6th-century CE, ) was a queen regnant of Funan (in present-day Cambodia) from 514 to 517. She was first the principal queen of King Jayavarman and later a queen in her own right. Biography She was married to King Jayavarman Kaundinya of Funan, one of the first historically attested monarchs in Cambodian history. Kulaprabhavati is referred to in an inscription as ‘the great queen, principal spouse of King Jayavarman’.
