Kesariraja

Kesariraja (Thai: ไกรสรราช) was a 12th-century mixed Tai-Mon monarch mentioned in the Northern Chronicle. He was the son of King Shridhammatripitaka (ศรีธรรมไตรปิฏก; who was indentified by some scholar as either King Phrom or Chueang) of Chiang Saen and Padumdevi, a Mon princess, the daughter of King Suvacanaraja of Si Satchanalai. Following the successful capture of Lavapura of the Lavo by his father in 1106, Kesariraja was installed as the new sovereign.

Kesariraja had one younger brother, Jatisagara (ชาติสาคร), who ruled Wiang Chai Narai and subsequently succeeded their father at Yonok's Chiang Saen. Kesariraja married Suladevi (สุลเทวี), a princess of Si Satchanalai under the successor of King Suvachanaraja, and they had one son, Duangkrian Krishnaraja (ดวงเกรียนกฤษณะราช). Duangkrian Krishnaraja married Rajadevi (ราชเทวี), a Xiān princess under Phra Chao Luang, and later ruled Kishkindha (เมืองขีดขิน or เสนาราชนคร), a polity under the authority of Lavo in the present-day Ban Mo district.

Kesariraja was succeeded by Sri Dharmasokaraja I. The precise date of this succession, as well as the nature of their familial relationship, remains unknown. Sri Dhammasokaraja ruled Lavapura until 1117, when he was deposed by the Angkorian monarch Sri Jayasinghavarman (กัมรเตง อัญ ศรีชัยสิงหวรมัน), identified with Suryavarman II.
