Dantivarman was an Indian monarch who ruled the Pallava kingdom from 795 to 846 CE.
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.
The Telugu Chola monarch Srikantha conquered and occupied Tondaimandalam and appointed as its ruler a member of a junior branch of the Pallavas named Abhimanasiddhi, who appears to have some relation to the Cholas as well.
This interregnum caused by the Telugu Chodas was, put to an end in the 49th regnal year of Dantivarman, who was assisted by his crown prince Nandivarman III, born through the Kadamba princess Aggalanimmadi, regained his lost territory.
