After the Yadava-Hoysala conflict settled and Yadava power was restored, [[Jaitugi]] undertook a successful campaign against the Kakatiyas around 1194. | After the Yadava-Hoysala conflict settled and Yadava power was restored, [[Jaitugi]] undertook a successful campaign against the Kakatiyas around 1194. | ||

With the [[Hoyasala]] front quiet, [[Jaitugi]] turned his attention to the south-east, where the [[Kakatiya Dyansty]] of [[Warangal]] lay beyond the Yadava territory. The Kakatiyas, also vassals of the old Calukya empire, were expected to acknowledge Yadava suzerainty, a demand that was bound to cause friction. Exploiting the critical period when the Yadavas were preoccupied with the Hoyasalas, the Kakatiyas faced [[Jaitugi]]’s retaliation in around 1195 A.D. In the ensuing battle, the Kakatiyas were decisively defeated, and their king [[Rudradeva]] was killed. Kakatiya records describe the chaos that ensued in their kingdom. Ganapati, the nephew of the slain king, was captured by [[Jaitugi]]. Rudra's brother, [[Mahadeva(Kakatiya Dyansty|Mahadeva]], who succeeded him in 1196 A.D., attempted to resist the Yadavas but was soon defeated and Killed, solidifying the Yadava victory. | With the [[Hoyasala]] front quiet, [[Jaitugi]] turned his attention to the south-east, where the [[Kakatiya Dyansty]] of [[Warangal]] lay beyond the Yadava territory.

[[Jaitugi]] then took control of Warangal and decided to place the captive Ganapati on the Kakatiya throne. Dr. Altekar suggests that Ganapati was reinstated in 1198 A.D., marking his first regnal year as indicated in his later inscriptions. [[Jaitugi]]’s success in establishing Ganapati as the Kakatiya ruler earned him great acclaim as the founder of Telangaraya, a title celebrated in many Yadava records, including the Kalegaon copper-plate of Mahadeva (App. Insc. no. 335). This achievement was a significant source of pride for the Yadavas, and even Jaitugi’s successors often adopted the title ‘Establisher of Telangaraya’ as a traditional honor. | [[Jaitugi]] then took control of Warangal and decided to place the captive Ganapati on the Kakatiya throne.
