Source: academia.edu: Gleanings from Atula’s MusikavamsaĪśānavarman (ईशानवर्मन्) is the name of an ancient king, according to the historical poem Mūṣikavaṃśa by Atula dealing with the royal lineage of North Kerala in roughly 1000 verses.—Īśānavarman married the beautiful Nandinī, the daughter of the Cedi King, who was living incognito in exile when he had been overpowered by enemies. Not being blessed with a child in their union, he married the daughter of the Cola King and got a son called Nūpārāma in that marriage. The frustrated Nandinī worships Goddess Bhadrakālī, who visualizes before her and grants her the boon that henceforth, the kingship of the country should pass on the son of the women of her line.

General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: WikiPedia: HinduismIt was Īśānavarman who managed to absorb the ancient territories of Fúnán which led the Xīn Táng shū (New History of the Táng Dynasty) (新唐書), compiled by Ōuyáng Xiū (歐陽修) (1007–1072) and Sòng Qí (宋祁) (998-1061) in 1060 AD to attribute the effective conquest of the country to him.
The earliest known date of the reign of Īśānavarman, a date that must not have been long after his accession, is that of his first embassy to China to the court of the Suí in 616-17. This king is also known from his own inscriptions, one incised at Īśānapura, dated 13 September 627 AD (K. 604),
