The Vijayanagar kings and generals had lost to the Bahmani empire from the day one and despite a few small victories of their own, had always felt particularly weak to compete against the emperors first at Gulbarga and then Bidar.
Even in beginning of rule of Sultan Alauddin Ahmad II, he was handed down a crushing defeat by Bahmani army under the command of Muhammad Khan. He had to clear tributes for multiple years and had to gift hundreds of his best musicians, dancers and artists to their historic foes.
