Dantivarman was an Indian monarch who ruled the Pallava kingdom from 795 to 846 CE. He was the son of Nandivarman II and his queen, the Rashtrakuta princess Reva.
== Reign == Dantivarman ruled the Pallava kingdom for 51 years. During his reign, the decline of the Pallavas had set in. Pandyan intrusions in the south reduced the Pallava territory to areas in and around Kanchipuram. In 803 CE, the Rashtrakuta emperor Govinda III defeated him and entered Kanchi.
