Neak Pean
Neak Pean (or Neak Poan) ((クメール語:ប្រាសាទនាគព័ន្ធ)) ("The entwined serpents") at Angkor, Cambodia is an artificial island with a Buddhist temple on a circular island in Preah Khan Baray built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII.〔Higham, C., 2014, Early Mainland Southeast Asia, Bangkok: River Books Co., Ltd., ISBN 9786167339443〕 It is the "Mebon" of the Preah Khan baray (the "Jayatataka" of the inscription).〔(Angkor )〕 == Etymology ==
Some historians believe that Neak Pean represents Anavatapta, a mythical lake in the Himalayas whose waters are thought to cure all illness.〔Higham, C., 2001, The Civilization of Angkor, London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, ISBN 9781842125847〕〔(Asian Historical Architecture )〕 The name is derived from the sculptures of snakes (Nāga) running around the base of the temple structure, ''neak'' being the Khmer rendering of the Sanskrit ''naga''. "They are Nanda and Upananda, two nagas traditionally associated with Lake Anavatapta."〔Willett, William. ''An Angkor Roundabout''. Unpublished manuscript, undated. Soon to be published online (2014) by the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society (Singapore)〕
