Yashahkarna

Yashahkarna (IAST: Yaśaḥakarṇa; r. c. 1073–1123 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.

During Yashahkarna's reign, the Kalachuris lost the northern parts of their kingdom to the Gahadavalas, and also suffered defeats against the Paramaras and the Chandelas.

The contemporary ruler of the region was probably the Vengi Chalukya king Vijayaditya VII.
