History Baladityapura was founded by Baladitya during the reign of King Isanavarman I in the early 7th century CE. After moving from Indrapura or Amarendrapura, King Jayavarman II established new capital, Mahendraparvata on the sacred hill top site of Phnom Kulen. After a century, it was abandoned when King Yasovarman I translocated the capital from Hariharalaya to Yasodharapura.

According to Paul Pelliot, Sambhupura (Isanapura) was the capital of (Upper Chenla) and Vyadhapura was the capital of (Lower Chenla),

but, according to George Coedès, Baladityapura (Aninditapura) was the capital of Water Chenla and Wen Tan (Wen Dan) was Land Chenla.
