Supratisthitavarman ruled Kamarupa from the Varman dynasty for the period 595–600. He was son of King Susthitavarman and Queen Shyamadevi.[1]
It is stated in Bhaskaravarman's inscription that "surrounded by learned men and accompanied by a well equipped army consisting of war-elephants his (Supratisthitavarman's) birth (rise) was for the good of others".[2] Supratisthitavarman introduced many reforms during his rule. He not able to reign for long and died during the life-time of his father.
