Jaya Paramesvaravarman II, born Prince Angsaraja of Turai-vijaya, was the king of Champa, following the Khmer voluntary evacuation of Champa in 1220, from 1220 to 1254. In 1252, nonstop territorial growth by Champa caused the Vietnamese king Tran Thai Tong to retaliate. In the process, he captured Jaya Paramesvaravarman II's concubine, Bo La Gia, and took other prisoners as well.

He was the grandson of Jaya Harivarman I, but raised in the court of Jayavarman VII. Attaining the rank of Yuvaraja in 1201, was crowned king of Champa in 1226, and led the Khmer Empire attack of Dai Viet in 1207. As king he restored irrigation works, ruins, and lingas.
