Vikrāntavarman II (?–731 CE), was the seventh king of the Fourth dynasty of Champa, modern-day Central Vietnam, reigned from 686 to 731. He was the son of king Vikrantavarman I. He was identified as Jianduodamo (建多达摩) in the medieval Chinese sources of New Book of Tang. In his kośa for the lingam of Vāmeśvara in Mỹ Sơn, Vikrantavarman II is venerated as lion among kings.[1][2]

An inscription on a stele dated 19 May 687 in Mỹ Sơn is attributed to his coronation.[3][4]
