Manohanaraj
King of Ayojjhapura
About Manohanaraj
Manohanaraj (, ) is a Dvaravati monarch preserved in the Pali chronicle Jinakalamali. Identified as the ruler of Ayojjhapura, the principal city of Qiān Zhī Fú. Manohanaraj succeeded his father, Rajadhiraj, and continued the lineage that had long governed this significant urban and religious center. His reign, however, is remembered less for consolidation than for its downfall. The Jinakalamali notes that another monarch subsequently assumed power at Ayojjhapura, yet the identity of this successor remains unrecorded. However, this presumption is undermined by the chronological framework of the Jinakalamali itself, which explicitly situates these events in the milieu of the 7th century as it refers to contemporary figures such as Queen Camadevi of Haripuñjaya in the event.
