Shri Prithvi-vallabha (IAST: Pṛthvīvallabha), or Vallabha-rāja,[1] was an imperial title used by several kings that ruled in present-day India, including the Chalukyas of Vatapi and the Rashtrakutas.
All the sovereign rulers of the Vatapi Chalukya dynasty bore the title Shri-prithvi-vallabha, which means "the husband of the goddess of fortune and the Earth" (that is, Vishnu).
[2] Mangalesha bore the exact title of Prithvi-vallabha, as attested by the Mahakuta inscriptions.
[3] The Manor inscription of the Chalukya governor Jayashraya Mangalarasa, dated to 7 April 691 (year 613 of the Shaka era), also mentions Prithvi-vallabha as one of his titles.
[7] The title was also used by Munja alias Vakpati of Paramara dynasty, which succeeded the Rashtrakutas in Malwa.
