King Fan Hu Ta of Champa had gone on a military campaign up north in 399 and had succeeded in capturing the Vietnamese provinces of Nhat Nam (region) and Cuu Chan.
He has continued his temple-building campaign as well, building Cham towers along the coast up north.
From 405 to 413, he has continuously battled the Chinese governor Do Tue.
However, at their last confrontation, Fan Hu Ta disappears without a trace after being defeated by the governor.
