With the north secure, Krishnadevaraya was able to turn south, and there he overthrew the rebels of Ummattur, whose territory was made into a new province with Sriringapattanam as its capital. Thereafter he turned against the Oriya ruler, Prataparudra, from whom he wrested Kondavidu and the lands up to the Krishna. From Bezwada he pushed westwards into Telingana, and then, in A.D. 1516-17, to beyond the Godavari. His most famous battle took place on 19 May 1520, and resulted in the recovery of the fortress of Raichur from Ismail ’Adil Shah of Bijapur.
