INCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF TRIPURI
that the Kalachuris wrested the Doab from the Pratihāras, but we do not know how
long Trilōchanapāla continued to rule after 1027 A.C., the date of his Jhūsī plates.1 If
the Mahārājādhirāja Yaśahpāla who made the grant of a village in the Kauśāmba-mandala in 1037, A.C.2 belonged to the Gurjara-Pratihāra dynasty, Trilōchanapāla could not
have been a contemporary of Karna. It is not, however, unlikely that Yaśahpāla was a
prince of the Pāla dynasty who, taking advantage of the chaotic conditions in the Pratihāra
kingdom due to Muhammadan invasions, established himself for a short while in the
country round Allahabad. In that case Trilōchanapāla may have continued to rule at Bāri
for a few years after 1027, and may have therefore suffered a defeat at the hands of Karņa’s
general Vappulla. TEXT4
