== Reign ==
Dantivarman ruled the Pallava kingdom for 51 years. During his reign, the decline of the kingdom had set in. [[Pandya]]n intrusions in the south reduced the Pallava territory to areas in and around Kanchipuram. In  803 CE, the [[Rashtrakuta]] king [[Govinda III]] defeated him and entered [[Kanchi]].
