Dantidurga (r. 735 – 756 CE), also known as Dantivarman II, was the founder of the
Kalaburagi region of Karnataka. His successor was his uncle Krishna I who extended the Rashtrakuta realm to all of Karnataka
.
The Ellora record of Dantidurga narrates that he defeated the
Kanchi. Dantidurga helped Nandivarman recover Kanchi by warring against the Chalukyas.[5]
The Navasari grant (c.739) throws light on his achievements in the era prior to Rashtrakuta independence. The
Rashtrakuta prince Dantidurga, who was subsidiary to Chalukyas at this time, also played an important role in the battle.[6]
Dantidurga was a clever diplomat but at the same time used military power to expand his empire's boundaries.[7] By 750 CE, Dantidurga had brought what are present-day Madhya Pradesh and Southern Gujarat under his control.[8]
