Shri Prithvi-vallabha (IAST: Pṛthvīvallabha), or Vallabha-rāja, was an imperial title used by several kings that ruled in present-day India, including the Chalukyas of Vatapi and the Rashtrakutas. It is a Kshatriya title that translates as "Lord of the Earth," or alternatively as "Husband of the Earth and Her Fortunes." and this title was also associated with Jainism, as it is frequently found in inscriptions of Jain kings and donors across Deccan.
