Paramardivarman (reigned c. 1165–1203), IAST: Paramardi), known as Parmardideva, and famous in folklores as Parmala, while Parimal in Hindu scriptures, was the last greatest king of the Chandel dynasty of Jejakabhukti. He succeeded his father Yashovarman II as the king of the Jejakabhukti Kingdom. In 1182, Prithviraj Chauhan III raided and plundered the Madanpura city, which Paramardivarman recaptured after defeating Chahamanas of Shakambhari in few months. Paramardi signed the Treaty of Kalinjar around 1202–03 during the siege by the Ghurid general Qutbuddin Aibak, but died before the treaty was finalised.
