In 1008, a civil war between Harivarman III and general Pam̃r Rauṅ broke out in Champa. Pam̃r Rauṅ was suppressed. In 1010, he sent an embassy to Song China to seek investiture, and five years later he sent another embassy. During these envoys, the Cham brought Champa rice to China.

Harivarman III died in 1018 and was succeeded by an unknown ruler.
