Dattatreya Ramachandra Bendre (31 January 1896 – 26 October 1981), popularly known as Da. Ra. Bendre, was an Indian poet active during the Navodaya (new birth) period of Kannada literature. He was given the honorific Varakavi ('the heaven-touched poet-seer'). Bendre was awarded the Jnanapita for his 1964 poetry collection, Naaku Tanti. Bendre published most of his work as Ambikatanayadatta (lit. 'Datta, son of Ambika'). Often mistaken for a pseudonym in the Western sense, Bendre described Ambikatanayadatta as the "universal inner voice" within him that dictated what he (Bendre) then presented in Kannada to the world. He was recognized as the Karnataka Kavi Kula Thilaka ("The crown-jewel among Kannada Poets") by the Udupi Adamuru Matha. He was also awarded the Padma Shri in 1968 and made a fellow of the Sahitya Akademi in 1969.
