In 1308 ‘Alā-ud-dīn made a second attempt to establish his authority in Telingāna, and a large army under the command of Malik Nāib and Khvāja Hājī was dispatched from Delhi by way of Deogīr. He had no intention of annexing more territory than could be conveniently administered from Delhi, and Malik Nāib’s instructions were to insist upon no more than the formal submission of the raja of Warangal and an undertaking to pay tribute. Rāmachandra hospitably entertained the whole army during its halt at Deogīr, and when it advanced towards Telingāna supplied it with an efficient commissariat.
