  ## Reign
  
  During his reign, relations between Champa and China was restored. Chinese historians begin referring Champa by Chang-cheng or the city of Cham in its Sanskrit form. He founded a new capital, Indrapura in modern-day Quang Nam Province.
  
  Indravarman claimed himself to be a master that had been enlightened after many years of meditating, not a member of any noble house or previous dynasties.
  
  He authorized the construction of Lakshmindralokeçvara temple, a Mahayana Buddhist monastery located in Dong Duong (Indrapura), southeast of Mỹ Sơn. A royal cult consecrating to Avalokiteśvara was highly promoted by the Cham elites. In 889, Khmer ruler Yasovarman I led an invasion of Champa, but was repelled by Indravarman II.
