Principality of Thuận Thành in the context of Panduranga (Champa)
Panduranga (Old Cham: Paṅrauṅ / Panrāṅ; Sanskrit: पाण्डुरङ्ग / Pāṇḍuraṅga) or Prangdarang was a Cham Principality. Panduranga was the rump state of the Champa kingdom after Annamese emperor Lê Thánh Tông destroyed Champa in 1471 as part of the general policy of Nam tiến. The Panduranga principality was located in present-day south-central Vietnam and its centre is around the modern day city of Phan Rang. It stood until late 17th century when the Nguyễn lords of Đàng Trong, a powerful Vietnamese clan, vassalized it and subjugated the Cham polity as the Principality of Thuận Thành.
