Trailokyavijayī (त्रैलोक्यविजयी) refers to “one who has conquered the three worlds” and is used to describe Jalandhara, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Vṛnda (wife of Jalandhara) lamented after seeing her (seemingly) dead husband: “O lord, formerly you used to humour me with pleasant chats. How is it that you do not speak to me now, to your pious beloved? How is it that you, by whom all the gods including the Gandharvas and Viṣṇu had been defeated, you who had conquered the three worlds (trailokyavijayī), have now been killed by a poor sage? O excellent Daitya, you did not know the reality of Śiva nor did you pay heed to my words ‘Śiva is Supreme Brahman’. Having served you I found that it was not due to haughtiness but due to your association with bad men that you did all this”.
