Kaulagajamardana (कौलगजमर्दन) or “crushing the Kaula elephant” is the name of a Sanskrit text possibly authored by Kāśīnātha.—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.
