Kanthirava Narasaraja II was the Wodeyar ruler of the Indian state of Mysore from 1704 to 1714 CE. He was born deaf and came to be called Múk-arasu (literally "mute king"). He succeeded to the throne through the influence of the chief minister, Tirumalaiyangar. During his reign, his delavayi (chief of the army), who was also named Kanthirava, led an expedition to subdue Chik Ballapur, but was killed during the fighting. His son later took over and succeeded in establishing Mysore's suzerainty.
