Duttabaung (Burmese: ဒွတ္တဘောင်မင်းကြီး, also spelt Dwattabaung) was the 3rd king and founder of the Sri Ksetra Kingdom. According to the royal chronicles, he ascended the throne in 444 BCE after the legendary founding of the city of Sri Ksetra by his father Maha Thanbawa. He would rule for seventy years, with his primary legend surrounding his conflict with Beikthano's queen Panhtwar that led to his death after he used a handkerchief made from Panhtwar's clothes.
