Pre Rup is the name of the brick temple of tenth century at about 9 km from Angkor Wat. It was renamed after a long time abandon since sixteenth century as Pre Rup that means the change of body. This is the transformation of body by the funeral occultation. However its actual name became the origin of an inscription Vishvaropa on the statue found inside of the building during the discovery by French archeologist . So Vishvarupa was probably transformed in Vrahrup then Preah Rup and finally becomes Pre Rup as well.
