Person
Yajnavaraha
Khmer Brahmin and scholar of the 10th century, a grandson of King Harshavarman I, who with his younger brother Vishnukumara founded the Shiva temple of Banteay Srei, consecrated in 967. The Khmer text of the temple’s stele calls him ‘holy teacher’; George Coedès thought he might be the Brahmin who became the royal guru (vrah guru) of Jayavarman V.
