The first decade of his reign was one of long sieges, bloody conquests and victories. Its main enemies are the Bahamani Sultans (who, though divided into five small kingdoms, remained a constant threat), the Gajapatis Orissa, who had been involved in constant conflict since the rule Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya and the Portuguese a maritime power which controlled up a large part of maritime commerce. The feudal chiefs Ummatur, Reddyraju of Kondavidu Raju and Velamas of Bhuvanagiri intermittently rebelled against Vijayanagar domination.
Success in Deccan
The annual turnover of the attack and plunder of Vijayanagar towns and villages by the Deccan sultans came to an end during the Raya's rule. In 1509 Krishnadevaraya's armies clashed with the Sultan of Bijapur at Diwani and the sultan Mahmud was severely injured and beaten. Yusuf Adil Khan was killed and Raju was annexed. Taking advantage of the victory and the disunity of the Bahamani Sultans, the Raya invaded Bidar, Gulbarga and Bijapur and earned the title "founder of the Yavana kingdom" when he released Sultan Mahmud and made him de facto leader. The Sultan of Golconda Quli Qutb Shah was defeated by Timmarusu was the Prime Minister of Sri Krishnadevaraya.

In 1516-1517, he pushed beyond the Godavari river.
Kalinga war
Surya Vamsi Gajapatis Orissa decided a vast territory including the Andhra region, most of the Telangana region, the whole of Orissa, parts of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. The success of Krishna Deva Raya to Ummatur gave impetus to his campaign in the Telangana region which was in control of Gajapati Prathapa Rudra Dev. The Vijayanagar army laid siege to the Udayagiri fort in 1512. The campaign lasted for a year before the Gajapati army disintegrated due to starvation. Krishna Deva Raya offered prayers at Tirupati later with his wife Devi and Tirumala Devi Chinnama. The Gajapati army was then met Kondaviduraju where the armies of Vijayanagara, after establishing a seat for a few months and heavy with initial defeats began to decline, until Timmarusu discovering a secret entrance to the door East unattended the fort launched a night attack culminating with the capture of the fort and the imprisonment of the greatest swordsman of his time, Prince Virabhadra, the son of Gajapati Emperor of Kalinga-Utkal, Gajapati Prataprudra Deva. Saluva Timmarasa took over as governor Kondavidu thereafter. The Vijayanagar army then turned the Gajapati army at Kondapalli area and laid another siege. Krishnadevaraya then planned for an invasion of mainland Kalinga-Utkal but the Gajapati Emperor Prataparudra deprived of this plan were put in place a strategy to defeat the Vijayanagara army and with it its king, Krishnadevaraya. The confrontation was to happen to Fort Kalinganagar. But the wily Timmarusu set information by bribing a Telugu deserter, formerly in the service of the powerful Prataprudra deva. Prataprudra was taken to Cuttack, the capital of Gajapati and finally returned to Vijaynagar empire, giving his daughter, Princess Annapurna Devi in ??marriage to Sri Krishna Deva Raya.As treaty river Krishna became limit Vijaynagar Kingdom and Orissa. Thereafter, the peace between the two most powerful Hindu empires in India ensured a period of harmony and safety of Sanatana Dharma in India.

"Though a follower of Vaishnavism he showed respect all sects and small religious prejudices never influenced him, whether in the provision of grants or in his choice of companions and officers.

The reign of Krishna Deva Raya is considered the golden age of Telugu literature. Eight known as Astadiggajalu (eight elephants in the eight cardinal point and the North, South, etc) poets were part of his court (known as Bhuvana-vijayamu). According to the Vaishnavite religion there are eight elephants in eight corners in space and hold the earth in place. Similarly, these eight poets were the eight pillars of his literary assembly. Who made Ashtadiggajas is not certain. However, it is popularly believed to include these: Allasani Peddana, Nandi Thimmana, Madayyagari Mallana, Dhurjati, Ayyala-Rama Raju-Bhadrudu, Pingali Surana, Ramaraja Bhushanudu Tenali Rama and Krishna.Among these eight poets Allasani Peddana is considered the largest and the title of Andhra Kavita Pitamaha (the father of Telugu poetry).

Tenali Ramakrishna first wrote Udbhataradhya Charitramu, a Shaivite work and later wrote Vaishnava devotional texts Pandu Ranga-Mahatmyamu and Ghatikachala Mahatmyamu. The period of the Empire is known as "Prabandha Period," because of the quality of Prabandha literature produced during this period. Tenali Ramakrishna remains one of the most popular folk figures in India today, a courtier spirit alive even prepared to thwart the all-powerful emperor. Among the works of Dhurjati, a collection of poems rather a collection of 100 poems called "srikalahastheeshwara satakamu" (satakamu means a collection of 100 poems) is the most famous.
Amuktamalyada
Once the Vijayanagara emperor Sri Krishnadevaraya traveling via Vijayawada during his campaign Kalinga (c. 1516). He had conquered Vijayawada, Kondapalli fort and the surrounding areas. He came to know the holy temple of Sri Andhra and visited Srikakulam village for a few days. He performed the Ekadasi Vratam during this time. It is here that Lord Sri Andhra Vi? H? U in all its glory appeared to the emperor in a dream early in the morning ("Neela meghamu Dalu Deelu seyaga JALU ...."). [10] In Amuktamalyada itself, it was mentioned that a Harivasara, Sri Krishnadevaraya had Darsana Sri Andhra Vi? h? u. Harivasara is the time between the last 4 muhurtas of Ekadasi and the first 4 of muhurtas Dwadasi, 6 hours and 24 minutes. This incident of visiting the temple must be between Ahobilam Saasanam (dated December 1515) and Simhachalam Saasanam (dated March 30, 1515). Maybe in January 1516, he would have visited the temple the day Dvadasi. Beyond this no other valid references are available for the exact date of the visit.
Sri Krishnadevaraya told him the circumstances of the composition of this work,
Some time ago, I was determined to conquer the territory Kalinga. On the way, I camped for a few days with my army in Vijayawada. Then I went to visit Andhra Vishnu, who lives in Srikakula. Observe fasting the day of Vishnu (Devadasi) in the fourth and last part of the night that God (Harivaasaram), Andhra Vishnu came to see me in my dream. His body was a bright black, blacker than the rain cloud. His wise and sparkling eyes, put the lotus to shame. He was dressed in the best even finer than down its golden eagle wings silk. The sunrise is pale red over red on his chest.
Instruction of the Lord to begin work in Telugu
Lord Sri Andhra told him to compose the story of his marriage with Andal at Srirangam ("rangamandayina pendili seppumu .."). From 14th poem of this work, we can see that the Lord also ordered the emperor to tell the story Telugu and referred himself as King of Telugus (Telugu Vallabhuna) and refers Sri Krishnadevaraya as Kannada King (Kannada Raya). (... NENU delugu raayanda, Kannada Raaya!, Yakkodunangappu ...). motivated Lord " telugadelayanna, desambu Telugu. Yenu telugu vallabhunda.

Content. Amuktamalyada Sri Krishna Deva Raya beautifully describes the pangs of separation suffered by Sri Andal (incarnation of Mother Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi venerated as Sri Bhoomi Devi, the goddess of the Earth and the divine consort of Almighty Sriman Narayana) Andal (one of the twelve bhakti-era Alwars) for her lover Lord Vishnu. He describes Andal's physical beauty in thirty verses; using descriptions of the spring and the monsoon as metaphors. As elsewhere in Indian poetry - see Sringara - the sensual pleasure of union extends beyond the physical level and becomes a path and a metaphor, spirituality and ultimate union with the divine.
One of the main characters is Periyalvar, the father of Andal. Lord Vishnu Periyalwar order to teach a king of the Pandya dynasty the path of knowledge to moksha. Amuktamalyada is also known as Vishnu-chitteeyam a reference to Vishnu-chittudu the name of Telugu Vishnuchittar aka Periyalwar.

Content. Amuktamalyada Sri Krishna Deva Raya beautifully describes the pangs of separation suffered by Sri Andal (incarnation of Mother Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi venerated as Sri Bhoomi Devi, the goddess of the Earth and the divine consort of Almighty Sriman Narayana) Andal (one of the twelve bhakti-era Alwars) for her lover Lord Vishnu. He describes Andal's physical beauty in thirty verses; using descriptions of the spring and the monsoon as metaphors. As elsewhere in Indian poetry - see Sringara - the sensual pleasure of union extends beyond the physical level and becomes a path and a metaphor, spirituality and ultimate union with the divine.
One of the main characters is Periyalvar, the father of Andal. Lord Vishnu Periyalwar order to teach a king of the Pandya dynasty the path of knowledge to moksha. Amuktamalyada is also known as Vishnu-chitteeyam a reference to Vishnu-chittudu the name of Telugu Vishnuchittar aka Periyalwar. Several other short stories are included in Amuktamalyada during the main story Godadevi, Sanskrit name Kothai Naachiyaar aka Andal, which is used throughout the volume. Krishna Raya was also well versed in Sanskrit, Tamil and Kannada. Jambavati Kalyanamu is the Sanskrit work.
