| |
| Quli Qutb Shah was a contemporary of [[Krishnadevaraya|Krishana Deva Raya]] and his younger brother [[Achyuta Deva Raya]] of the [[Vijayanagara Empire]]. Quli extended his rule by capturing forts at [[Warangal]], [[Kondapalli]], [[Eluru]], and [[Rajamundry]], while Krishnadevaraya was fighting the ruler of [[Odisha]]. He defeated [[Sitapati Raju]] (known as Shitab Khan), the ruler of [[Khammam]], and captured the fort. He forced Odisha's ruler [[Vishwanath Dev Gajapati]] to surrender all the territories between the mouths of [[Krishna river|Krishna]] and [[Godavari river]]s.{{sfn|KSB Singh|1939|p=18}} He was able to occupy Eluru, Rajamundry and [[Machilipatnam]] extending his rule to [[Coastal Andhra]]. Quli's campaign against Krishnadevaraya continued until [[Timmarusu]], the Prime Minister of Krishnadevaraya, defeated the Golconda army.
