i84 M, M. Chaki’avarti — Inscription of Kapilendra Deva. [No. 2, 
Bahmani kin^ tlie southern-most districts of Kondapalli and Raja- 
mahendri. Ferishtacallshim “Amber Rai” which is apparently a corrup- 
tion of the title “Bhraraavavara Raya” — a title still given in Orissa to a 
prince, not always the eldest one. Later on, the Orissa king appears to have 
repented of the bargain, and to have attempted a conquest of the ceded 
districts. This led to an expedition into Orissa in 1477 A.D. by the 
Bahmani king Muhammad, which Ferishta reports as having been suc- 
cessful. Anyhow these districts passed ultimately into the hands of 
the Orissa king, as the Konda-Vidu inscription of 1488-9 A.D. shows. 
The king also waged war with Vidyanagara (or as the Mahomedans 
put it Vijayanagar). Caitanya-carit-amrta, the well-known biography 
of the great Bengal Vaisnavite preacher, Caitanya, says that the King 
Purus5ttama Deva conquered Vidyanagara, and thence brought a jewelled 
simhasana (throne) which he presented to Jagannatha, and also the image 
of Saksi-gopdla Avhich he kept in his capital at Kataka (Cait. car. 
dmr., Madhya Khandn, 5th Pariccheda). The first Vidyanagara dynasty 
was then tottering on its throne, and was shortly after replaced by the 
second dynasty. 
Tlie few details given in the Madala Panji are mainly taken up in 
describing an expedition of this King into Kanci. If there be any truth 
in it, then it is likely connected with the raid of the Bahmani king 
Muhammad Shah If, who in 1477-8 A.D. made a dash towards Conjee- 
veram, and returned with an immense booty. Purus5ttama Deva might 
have joined the said king as an ally. 
According to the Madala Panji this king erected the Bh5ga- 
rnandapa (refectory hall) of Jagannatha temple in his 7th Agka (1473-4 
A.D.) ; and in his 9th Aijka (1475-6 A.D.) he built the inner wall and 
the cooking rooms of that temple.
