Hindupati (हिन्दुपति) is the name of an ancient king of Bundela, and patron of Durgādatta (19th century): author of eight works in Sanskrit, among which Vṛttamuktāvalī is the only work on prosody. Durgādatta introduces his patron Hindūpati, a king of the Bundela tribe, presently Bundelkhand of Uttar Pradesh of modern India in his work.

Durgādatta mentions Hindupati’s predecessors as Sabhāsiṃha, Hṛdayasāha and Chatraśāla up to Campatirāya. Chatraśāla, who ruled over Bundelkhanda, was born in 4th May 1649 and died in 20th December 1731. As Hindupati is the great grandson of Chatraśāla, it might have taken 100 (or more than that from the reign of Chatraśāla) years for Hindupati to become the king of Bundelakhanda. Hence the time of Hindupati can be placed at 19th century.
