Jayendrabhā or Jayaendra[valla]bha (8th-century - 9th-century), was a queen regnant of Sambhupura Chenla in Cambodia.[2] She was also the queen of Jayavarman II, the king of Lower Chenla.
She was the daughter of queen Nṛpatendradevī or Nrpendradevi of Sambhupura. She appears to have inherited the throne from her mother. She married king Jayavarman II.[2]
Jayavarman, the ruler of Lower Chenla,[3] became King consort of Sambhupura by marrying her.[1] It seems that the kingdom of Sambhupura was Land Chenla and the kingdom of Vyadhapura was Water Chenla.[4]
Her daughter queen Jyeṣṭhāryā succeeded her on the throne by 803.

Until recently it was generally held that the kingdom of Śambhupura corresponded to the Kambuja of land, and that of Vyādhapura, to the Kambuja of water of the Chinese chronicles.
