An inscription notes that they were crowned: :"The Highness Sri Srindravarmandeva, lined from the country of Srestavarmanvaya and the country of Srindrapura Krtajnapura, was crowned as Yuvaraja (heir) with the highness Sri Srindrabhupesvarcuda who was the daughter of the king as spouse, under the reign of the Highness Jayavarmandeva Paramesvarapada." Queen Srindrabhupesvarachuda is most known for the role she played in the succession of her spouse to the throne.

This brother strove to stir the soldiery to revolt, but the king, hearing of this, cut off his brother-in-law's toes and threw him into a dark dungeon."Jacobsen, Trudy, Lost goddesses: the denial of female power in Cambodian history, NIAS Press, Copenhagen, 2008
