Shīdámó Típó (Chinese: 尸达摩提婆) was a 7th-century Dvaravati monarch attested in Chinese historical sources, most notably the New Book of Tang and the Cefu Yuangui, where he is identified as the ruler of the Xiū Luó Fēn Kingdom. This polity is generally situated within the Phraek Si Racha historical region of present-day central Thailand. According to these texts, the realm under his authority possessed a remarkably large and well-organized military establishment, comprising around 20,000 – 30,000 elite troops. This force substantially exceeded those of its two brother polities, namely Gē Luó Shě Fēn and Gān Bì, which are recorded as maintaining approximately 20,000 and 5,000 soldiers, respectively.

Contemporary Chinese accounts further indicate that, during Shī Dá Mó Típó’s reign, these kingdoms exhibited broadly comparable sociopolitical institutions, cultural practices, and systems of governance. The sources also note that the three brother kingdoms dispatched separate tributary missions to the Tang court within the same year in 665.
