Rachakonda Fort

While besieging the fort he was killed by the Somakula Kshatriyas by treachery and they were abetted in their act by the Reddys and the Telugu Nayakas.

When Anapotanayaka and Madanayaka, the sons of Singamanayaka learned of this, they marshalled their forces and attacked Jallipalli fort in 1361 AD and defeated the Somakula Kshatriyas in battle.

After this incident the rivalry between the Reddies and Rachakonda rulers did not abate till the time both were consumed by the Bahamani and the Vijayanagara Empires later.

This enraged the Bhamani sultan Firoz Shah who later signed a peace treaty with Vijyanagara and attacked the Rachakonda kingdom and conquered it.

The Rachakonda kings then sought the help of Kapileswara Gajapati of Orissa and also promised him large amounts of money.
