Quotes
edit- We are your spiritual descendants. A man called Kaundinya (a Brahmin) came from South India years ago, defeated the Cambodian princess, married her, settled down, established his dynasty, and, we are the spiritual descendants of that dynasty. The name Khmer civilization which you give to that comes from the word Kh-Meru of which Kaundinya was a citizen here.
