During his father [[Bhillama V]]'s reign, [[Jaitugi]] fought alongside him in wars against the [[Hoysala]] king [[Ballala II]], defending Kalyani and [[Devagiri]] from capture. Despite their efforts, [[Bhillama V]] was eventually defeated by the Hoysalas. Seizing the opportunity created by the weakened Yadava power, the Kakatiyas invaded the eastern part of the Yadava kingdom. All three dynasties—the Yadavas, Hoysalas, and Kakatiyas—had been vassals of the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani]]. The Yadavas, viewing themselves as the true successors of the Chalukyas, expected the Kakatiyas to acknowledge their suzerainty. | During his father [[Bhillama V]]'s reign, [[Jaitugi]] fought alongside him in wars against the [[Hoysala]] king [[Ballala II]], defending Kalyani and [[Devagiri]] from capture.

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.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Y.
