Pravarasena

Pravaraṣeṇa or Śrīmān Pravaraṣeṇa was a ruler mentioned in the Don Mueang Toei Inscription, a short Sanskrit epigraph discovered at the ancient site of in present-day Yasothon province.

Some scholars have proposed alternative interpretations of the lineage mentioned in the inscription, suggesting that Pravaraṣeṇa may have had a son named Kroñcavāhu, who in turn fathered a group of powerful sons, the youngest of whom was known as Śrī Añjali.

Don Mueang Toei inscription

The Don Mueang Toei Inscription (; catalogue numbers ยส. 6 and K. 1082) was discovered in 1983 by officials of the Fine Arts Department at the archaeological site of in Song Pueai Subdistrict, Kham Khuean Kaeo District, Yasothon Province.

Early documentation of the inscription initially caused confusion because photographs of the text were transmitted as four separate images, leading scholars to believe that they represented four different inscriptions. Later reanalysis showed that the images were in fact sections of a single inscribed slab. When the photographs were correctly reassembled, the text could be read coherently and subsequently published in studies of early inscriptions from northeastern Thailand. Anurak Depimai lists the sequence of names at Śaṅkhapura as Pravarasena, Kroñjapāhu and Dharmasena, and notes a resemblance to the naming pattern in inscriptions recording Chitrasena — the pre-consecration name of Mahendravarman of Chenla — before his own accession, without asserting that the two lineages are the same.

Archaeologically, the site is a moated settlement surrounded by earthen ramparts and located roughly one kilometer east of the modern village of Song Pueai . Such moated sites are characteristic of early urban communities in the Mun–Chi basin.
