'''Yuvarajadeva II''' ([[IAST]]: Yuva-rāja-deva, r. c. 980-990 CE) was a ruler of the [[Kalachuris of Tripuri|Kalachuri dynasty]] of Tripuri in central India. His kingdom was centered around the Chedi or Dahala region in present-day [[Madhya Pradesh]]. He established matrimonial relations with the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani]], and was defeated by their rival, the [[Paramara]] king [[Vakpati Munja|Munja]].<br />

== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Yuvarajadeva succeeded his elder brother [[Shankaragana III]], who was probably killed in a battle against the [[Chandela]]s.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=486}}<br />
<br />
== Reign ==<br />
<br />
The Karanbel inscription of Yuvarajadeva's descendant claims that he raided several countries, and presented the plundered wealth to lord [[Somnath temple|Somnath]]. His ancestor Lakshmanaraja II is also credited with a similar achievement. According to historian [[V. V. Mirashi]], these are conventional praises, and should not be taken as factual descriptions.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|pp=486-487}} The Karanbel inscription also boasts that Yuvarajadeva once fought and killed a tiger.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=487}}<br />
<br />
Yuvarajadeva's sister Bonthadevi married the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani|Kalyani Chalukya]] ruler [[Tailapa II]], apparently as part of a matrimonial alliance. The [[Paramara]] king [[Vakpati Munja|Munja]], who was an enemy of Tailapa, invaded the Kalachuri kingdom and raided their capital Tripuri.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=487}} The [[Udaipur, Madhya Pradesh|Udaipur]] ''[[prashasti]]'' inscription of the Paramaras suggests that Munja defeated Yuvarajadeva, killed the Kalachuri generals, and "held his sword high" in Tripuri.{{sfn|R. K. Sharma|1980|p=19}} Munja was later defeated and captured by Tailapa: the later Chalukya inscriptions also mention him as "destroyer of the Chedi king" while describing Tailapa's victory.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=487}}<br />
<br />
According to V. V. Mirashi, Yuvarajadeva was probably killed while defending Tripuri against Munja, and Munja was later forced to retreat by Tailapa.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=487}} After his death, the ministers of the state placed his son [[Kokalla II]] on the throne of Tripuri.{{sfn|V. V. Mirashi|1957|p=488}}<br />
