He established Kalachuri rule in Tripuri around the year 845AD. An extremely brilliant military commander, Kalachuri Inscriptions mention his victories against various kings.
Epigraphic sources suggest that he probably came in conflict with the Pratihara King Bhoja I, and it is said that he had granted Bhoja, I quote "assurance of safety and protection", this is enough to prove his military might!
He has also looted the treasuries of Sankaragana who most likely is the Kalachuri ruler Sarayupura, Hansraja(Guhila Chief most likely) and Guvaka the Chahamana King of Sakambhari.
Since they were all Pratihars vessels it may be assumed that he gained major victory against the Pratiharas. During his last days he also led expeditions in the North Konkan and hand helped King Krishna-II of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty.
Kokalla had married the Chandella Princess Nata and had 18 sons with her out of whom his son Samkaragana succeeded him.
