'''Trailokyamalla''' (r. c. 1210s CE), also called Trailokyamalladeva, was a ruler of the [[Kalachuris of Tripuri|Kalachuri dynasty]] of central India. His kingdom was centered around the Chedi or Dahala region in present-day [[Madhya Pradesh]]. Trailokyamalla is the last known king of his dynasty. It is not known how and when his rule ended.<br />

== Reign ==<br />
<br />
Trailokyamalla was a son of the Kalachuri king [[Vijayasimha]], as attested by the 1193 CE Jhulpur inscription, which records a grant made on Trailokyamalla's birthday. Vijayasimha's reign ended around 1210 CE.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=496}}<br />
<br />
Information about Trailokyamalla's reign comes from a 1212 CE (963 [[Kalachuris of Mahishmati|KE]]) inscription discovered at Dhureti near [[Rewa district]]. The inscription, which records a village grant, mentions the traditional high-sounding imperial Kalachuri titles for Trailokyamalla. The [[find spot]] of the inscription suggests that he retained the territories that he inherited from his father. The inscription also calls him the lord of [[Kanyakubja]] (modern Kannauj): in absence of any corroborative evidence, it is not certain if he actually managed to capture Kanyakubja.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=497}}<br />
<br />
Trailokyamalla is the last known king of his dynasty. It is not known when and how his rule ended. The 1256 CE [[Rahatgarh]] inscription of the [[Paramara dynasty|Paramara]] king [[Jayavarman II (Paramara dynasty)|Jayavarman II]] indicates that the Paramaras had captured the eastern part of the Kalachuri kingdom by the mid-13th century. The 1287 CE [[Hindoria]] inscription suggests that the [[Chandela]]s had conquered the western part of the Kalachuri kingdom by this time. The 1309 CE [[Bamhani|Bamhni]] inscription proves that by the early 14th century, a part of the former Kalachuri territory had been captured by the [[Delhi Sultanate]]. The 1310 CE Purushottampuri inscription of the [[Seuna (Yadava) dynasty|Yadava]] king Ramachandra also states that he defeated the king of the Dahala country. However, it is not certain if the defeated ruler was a Kalachuri king, as the inscription does not mention the name or the dynasty of the defeated ruler.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=498}}<br />
