'''Mahipala''' (or '''Mahipala I'''; {{reign|988|1038}}) was a notable king of the [[Pala Empire|Pala dynasty]], which ruled over much of the eastern regions of the [[Indian subcontinent]] between the 8th and 12th centuries. He was the son and successor of [[Vigrahapala II]]. Mahipala's reign marked a resurgence in fortunes for the Pala empire, whose boundaries were expanded as far as [[Varanasi]]. However, his rule was temporarily hampered by the northern expedition of the [[Chola Empire|Chola]] king, [[Rajendra I]].<ref name=kulke>{{cite book|last1=Kulke|first1=Hermann|last2=Rothermund|first2=Dietmar|year=2007|title=A history of India|edition=4th|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9780415329200|page=118|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V73N8js5ZgAC|access-date=4 September 2015}}</ref><ref name=EB>{{cite web|title=Pala dynasty|url=http://www.britannica.com/topic/Pala-dynasty|website=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=4 September 2015}}</ref><br />
