Harivarman III (Chinese: 施離霞離鼻麻底; pinyin: Shīlí Xiálíbímádǐ; Cham: Śrī Harivarmadeva, Vietnamese: Ha Lê Bạt Ma), was a king of Champa, ruled the kingdom from 1007 to 1018.
In 1008, a civil war between Harivarman III and general Pam̃r Rauṅ broke out in Champa. Pam̃r Rauṅ was suppressed.[1] In 1010, he sent an embassy to Song China to seek investiture, and five years later he sent another embassy.[2] During these envoys, the Cham brought Champa rice to China.[3]
An inscription dated 1013 records:
"In [the year] of the Śaka king 935. This was the time when Y.P.K the victorious Śrī Harivarmadeva ruled the country of Campā from Rūlauy to the Far East; where Paṅrauṅ; where Paṅrauṅ (native) of Dauk Jā in the area (paliy) of Manicya was general there; where (the latter) was at Panrāṅ: where he restored (punaḥ) the capatī and gave (the image of) his highness the little [goddess]."
Harivarman III died in 1018 and was succeeded by an unknown ruler.
