Rāmachandra made an attempt to conquer the Telugu country but was driven back by Kākatīya Pratāpa Rudra. In 1294 he was attacked by the Musalman army commanded by Alāu-d-din Khilji, nephew of the Sultan of Delhi, and Dēvagiri was invested. Alāu-d-din retired on receipt of an immense ransom. Later, when Rāmachandra failed to pay tribute in 1307, Malik Kāfur was sent to compel his obedience, and Rāmachandra was captured and sent as a prisoner to Delhi, but was released after a time. He died in 1309.
