'''Jagadeva''', also known as '''Jagaddeva''' or '''Jagdev Parmar''', was an 11th-12th century prince from the [[Paramara dynasty]] of central India. He is known from an inscription discovered at [[Jainad]] and some folk legends. His political status is uncertain, although according to one theory, he may have been a vassal of the [[Western Chalukya]]s. | |||

The coins and inscriptions from Jagadeva's period have been found in the northern parts [[ | The coins and inscriptions from Jagadeva's period have been found in the northern parts of [[Amravati division|Berar]] and [[Deccan Plateau|Marathwada]] regions of [[Maharashtra]], not the traditional Paramara territory of [[Malwa]]. These regions were dominated by the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani]]. An inscription discovered at [[Jainad]] names Jagaddeva as the son of the Paramara king [[Udayaditya]] (reigned c. 1060–1086).<ref>{{cite book |author=Gulab Chandra Choudhary |title=Political History of Northern India, from Jain Sources: (c. 650 A.

Krishna surmised that the Chalukya king [[Someshvara I|Someshvara]] was known by the title "Jagaddeva" ("Lord of the world") in the northern part of his kingdom, and it was he who issued these coins. However, all the known Chalukya coins feature [[Kannada script]], while coins of Jagaddeva feature the [[Nagari script]] used by the Paramaras. Therefore, Krishna's theory is purely conjectural.<ref>{{cite book |author=A. V.

V. P. Rode theorizes that Jagadeva accepted the suzerainty of [[Vikramaditya VI]] of Kalyani. Vikramaditya made him governor of Berar and a part of Deccan. P. C. Roy disagrees with this theory, arguing that a vassal could not have issued gold coins in his own name, and the coins do not mention the Chalukyas.<ref name="PCRoy_1980"/> | V. P.
