He was an officer of Champa with the noble rank Maha Taha. He was a Muslim, in 1622, he killed the Hindu king Po Ehklang and seized the throne. He chased off visiting Jesuits.[1] In the years 1622 to 1630, Dutch merchant ships were attacked by "Malay" soldiers in South China Sea; actually they were attacked by Chams, not Malays.[2][3] The country was in chaos, bitter fighting between Cham Hindus and Cham Muslims provoked. In 1627, his throne was succeeded by a Churu chief, Po Rome.[1]
The Po Klaong Mah Nai Temple is in Phan Rí, about 15 km from Bắc Bình District, Bình Thuận Province.[4]
