After Anga Indra’s reign, the kingdom experienced a second succession conflict, resulting in the ascendance of the Pagan monarch Kar Tayy (Thai: กาแต; Burmese: ကာတေး).^{[1]: 60 [2]: 43} This period coincides with Pagan’s successful annexation of the Mon's Thaton Kingdom in 1057^[3]: 149 and the subsequent southward expansion of its influence toward the Kra Isthmus,^{[4]: 61 [5]: 91–2} with the southernmost frontier projected to adjoin the region of Tambralinga.^{[5]: 89–90}

To the eastern valley, it is also preserved in the chronicle that around 1057, five years after taking over Lavo from the Angkor, Chandrachota confronted an incursion by the Pagan Kingdom. In light of Lavo’s comparatively limited military capacity, he pursued a policy of dynastic diplomacy by arranging the marriage of his queen consort’s elder sister, Kaew Praphan (เจ้าฟ้าแก้วประพาฬ), to the Pagan monarch.^{[6]: 18–9 [1]: 37–9} This alliance effectively safeguarded Lavo from the devastation that befell other polities along the western Menam Basin, including ancient centers such as Mueang Uthong and Nakhon Pathom, which were abandoned or severely depopulated as a consequence of the Pagan campaigns.^{[7]: 41 [8]: 4}
