Years: 892 - 903

The first Yasodharapura is built around Phnom Bakheng, also referred to in inscriptions as Phnom Kandal (Central Mountain), constructed just before the foundation of the city due to Yasovarman's belief that the mountain is among the holiest of places to worship the Hindu deities.

Succeeding capitals built in the area will also be called Yasodharapura, which, when translated from the Sanskrit, conveys the meaning of "Holy City" or, by extension, "Capital City".
