As a Mahayana Buddhist, his pronounced point was to reduce the anguish of his kin. One engraving lets us know, "He experienced the ailments of his subjects more than from his own; the agony that influenced men's bodies was for him a profound torment, and consequently all the more penetrating." This presentation must be perused in light of the obvious certainty that the various landmarks raised by Jayavarman more likely than not required the work of a large number of laborers, and that Jayavarman's rule was set apart by the centralization of the state and the crowding of individuals into ever more noteworthy populace focuses.
History specialists have distinguished numerous features in Jayavarman's serious building program. In one stage, he concentrated on valuable developments, for example, his well known 102 hospitals,127 rest houses along the streets, and supplies.

At last, he developed his own "sanctuary mountain" at Bayon and added to the city of Angkor Thom around it. He additionally assembled Neak Pean ("Coiled Serpent"), one of the littlest yet most lovely sanctuaries in the Angkor complex, a wellspring with four encompassing lakes set on an island in that counterfeit lake.

In 1177, the Chams, drove by Jaya Indravarman IV, attacked and Angkor was sacked. 78–79 Nonetheless, this date, also the occasion itself, has been addressed by Michael Vickery, who questions the unwavering quality of the Chinese hotspots for this period.[8] In 1181 Jayavarman VII got to be lord subsequent to driving the Khmer strengths against the Chams.

Jayavarman passed on around 1219. He was succeeded by Indravarman II, and kicked the bucket by 1243. Indravarman was succeeded further by Jayavarman VIII, a Shivaite. He set out on the decimation or destruction of Jayavarman VII's Buddhist works. The specialties up and down the highest point of the divider around the city contained pictures of the Buddha, and the vast majority of these were uprooted.
