When the Sultan's incursion was repeated by Malik Kāfūr in A. D. 1309, Rāmachandra again refrained from opposition, and submitted to the invader. He was the last independent Hindu sovereign of the Deccan. In wide territories to the south of the Krishnā (Kistna), the kingdom of Vijayanagar, founded in A. D. 1336, maintained the traditions of Hindu polity in unsurpassed splendour until 1565, when it was overwhelmed by a coalition of Muhammadan princes.
