Sri Dharmasokaraja V (), also known as Vaṃśasurā II () or Chandrabhanu IV (), was the younger brother of Chandrabhanu III and succeeded him as king of Tambralinga in 1262 CE, following his brother's death during the campaigns in Lanka. The throne in Lanka, meanwhile, passed to Savakanmaindan, the son of Chandrabhanu III.
The reign of Sri Dharmasokaraja V coincided with the decline of the Padmavaṃśa dynasty, which faced successive invasions by Kertanagara, ruler of Singhasari, in 1268–1269, followed by a major outbreak of plague in 1270. Sri Dharmasokaraja V is said to have died without heirs in 1272 CE, an event traditionally regarded as marking the end of the Padmavaṃśa lineage. According to the Ram Khamhaeng Inscription, this period also witnessed the northward migration of numerous savants from Tambralinga to the Sukhothai Kingdom around 1270 CE.
Subsequently, Phanomwang (), a prince affiliated with the Phetchaburi–Ayodhya line under Pra Poa Noome Thele Seri, together with his wife Sadieng Thong () and their son Sri Racha (), was reportedly commissioned by the ruler of Phetchaburi to restore Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Sri Dharmasokaraja II (), also known as Chandrabhanu I (), was a 12th-century monarch. He is attested in both epigraphic and literary sources, most notably the Pali–Old Khmer Dong Mae Nang Mueang inscription (K. 766), the , and the Legend of Phatthalung. These sources portray him as the ruler of the Phraek Si Racha–Lavo–Tambralinga polities during a period of intensified political competition between regional centers of the Chao Phraya basin and the expanding Angkor.
The reign of Sri Dharmasokaraja II is marked by a temporary assertion of authority over Lavo and the lower Menam basin in the mid-12th century, followed by the loss of Lavo under Angkorian pressure during the reign of Jayavarman VII. He then made Tambralinga his principal seat. From there the kingdom continued its religious patronage and its diplomatic relations, including tribute missions to China. His reign also saw conflicts and negotiated alliances with other dynasties of the time, which reshaped the distribution of power in southern and central Thailand before the polities that followed. He died in 1183 and was succeeded by his younger brother, Sri Dharmasokaraja III (Chandrabhanu II).
Sri Dharmasokaraja I (), also known by the alternative names Narapati (), was a 12th-century monarch of mainland and peninsular Southeast Asia, known primarily from epigraphic and legendary sources. He is mentioned in the Dong Mè Nang Mưo’ng Inscription (K. 766), written in Pali and Old Khmer, as well as in later Thai chronicles, notably the and the Legend of Phatthalung (). These sources associate him with the polities of Indaprasthanagara, Lavo, and Tambralinga, and portray him as a key figure in the political and religious reconfiguration of southern Thailand during the transitional period. The dynastic style itself bears on the reading of the inscription: George Cœdès excluded Angkor as the donor of the Dong Mae Nang Mueang text on the ground that no Angkorian king took the name Dharmāśoka, and the candidates argued over since have been Hariphunchai and Lopburi. He is traditionally credited with the refoundation of Nakhon Si Thammarat in 1077 and the establishment of a dynastic line that produced two successors bearing the same regnal title.
The reign of Sri Dharmasokaraja I at Indaprasthanagara–Lavo came to an end in 1117 CE, when the principal center at Indaprasthanagara was severely affected by an epidemic, prompting his relocation southward and the refoundation of Nakhon Si Thammarat in Tambralinga, while Lavo was simultaneously taken over by the Angkorian monarch Sri Jayasinghavarman; his authority at Tambralinga appears to have continued until approximately 1157 CE, when his elder son, Sri Dharmasokaraja II, ascended the throne.
The reign of Sri Dharmasokaraja I at Tambralinga, followed by those of his successors—Sri Dharmasokaraja II and Sri Dharmasokaraja III—was probably a period of Pagan suzerainty over Tambralinga, extending from the mid-11th century, after the Chola invasion in 1025/26, to the early 13th century, when the well-known Tambralinga ruler Chandrabhanu expanded his authority into Lanka.
