[1] His short reign was marked by a ruinous war with the southern Vietnamese which cost Champa half of its territory.
The Vietnamese chronicle Đại Nam thực lục mentions a catastrophic war with the Nguyễn ruler of Đàng Trong in 1653.
The King of Champa, who is here called Bà Tấm, brought his army trespassing into Phú Yên, trying to drive the Viet people out of this area.
The great army crossed the Hổ Dương Pass through the Thạch Bi Mountain and struck against an important citadel under the cover of darkness.
Nguyễn Phúc Tần accepted this and took hold of the Cham region Kauthara, i.e. all the territories north of the Phan Rang River.
Indigenous Cham tradition does not clearly mention his war with Vietnam, but paints a dark picture of him as an unintelligent figure.
