Kailāsācalayati (कैलासाचलयति) was the teacher of Kṛṣṇānandācala: the possible author of the 17th century Kaulagajamardana (“crushing the Kaula elephant”) authored by Kāśīnātha or Kṛṣṇānandācala.—Citing an article by Chakravarti, Gourdiaan and Gupta attribute the Kaulagajamardana to the seventeenth or eighteenth-century Kāśīnātha Bhaṭṭa 'Bhaḍa' (also known as Śivānandanātha). However, the colophon of the edition cited above says the author is Kṛṣṇānandācala, the principal student of Kailāsācalayati.
