Lady Po Nagar/Yan Po Nagar (杨婆
Cham tradition says that the founder of the Cham state was Lady Po Nagar. She hailed from Khánh Hòa Province, in a peasant family in the mountains of Dai An. Spirits assisted her when she drifted on a piece of sandalwood to China, where she married a Chinese crown prince, the son of the Emperor of China, with whom she had two children. She then became Queen of Champa.[5]

According to Cham tradition, Lady Po Nagar was the builder of the Cham nation. She was born into a farmer family in the Dai An Mountains of Khanh Hoa Province. With the assistance of spirits, she hid in a piece of sandalwood which drifted across the sea toward China. There, she married a royal heir and bore two children. Later she went back to Champa, and there she founded the Cham nation, of which she was the first queen.
