Shankaragana III (IAST: Śankaragaṇa, r. c. 970-980 CE) was a ruler of the Kalachuri dynasty of Tripuri in central India. His kingdom was centered around the Chedi or Dahala region in present-day Madhya Pradesh. He defeated a weak Gurjara-Pratihara ruler, and seems to have died in a battle against the Chandelas.
Reign[edit | edit source]
Shankargana succeeded the Kalachuri king Lakshmanaraja around 970 CE.[1] Shankaragana adopted an aggressive policy against his neighbours. According to a Jabalpur inscription, he defeated the contemporary Gurjara-Pratihara king. This rival king was probably Vijayapala.[2]
Shankaragana seems to have died in a battle against the Chandelas. A Bhilsa inscription boasts that the Chandela minister Vachaspati vanquished the king of Chedi (identified with Shankaragana) and his ally, a Shabara chief. Vachaspati was a subordinate of Krishnapa, the brother of the Chandela king Dhanga.[2] A Maser inscription states that Narasimha of the Sulki family turned the wives of the Kalachuri king into widows. This seems to be a reference to Shankaragana's defeat in a battle against the Chandelas.[2]
Shankaragana was succeeded by his younger brother Yuvarajadeva II.[2]
