Legendary reports about the origin of Cambodia and of its early ruling dynasties can be found in ancient Chinese texts, Cambodian royal annals and folktales, all of which mingle various traditions and historical events and add mythical trimmings and motifs. Thes mythical aspects are both indigenous and Indian. Of central importance is the presence of a supernatural ancestress, in whom the indigenous concept of water spirits is overlain with that of the Indian nāgas, which in the course of Indianization gave the ancestress her name. The Indian notions of a lunar and a solar race are also important. Historical persons (Kaundinya I, II, Liu-ye), personifications or symbols that cannot be identified (the nāga princess) and invented etymologies (Kambu, Merā) must be carefully distinguished.
