Uff...this Anumakonda Kaifiyat is throwing many surprises. Just look at the number of temples in Warangal.

Mahadeva had leprosy

and his elder brother Rudradeva was destined to kill his father.

Now, how does this reconcile with the fact that Prola was killed at the head of his army on an invasion of Draksharamam?

Now...now...now. Mahadeva rebelled when his brother died but his nephew gave him the throne voluntarily.

Rudrama Devi his wife and their daughter Ummakka is married to Chalukya Veerabhadra.

Born in 1244, Prataparudra was 80 years at the fall of Warangal 😳

Absolute mess of timelines 😂😂

I never heard of Kakatiya armies marching into Gujarat or Kashi. But I know Yadava Ramachandra crashed into Kashi once...

Two sons, eh?

Why do I have a feeling this story is about Malik Maqbul and not Prataparudra?

Annama Deva made Virabhadra the king in Warangal and left to Bastar along with his nephew.

Forget about Krishna Raya or Achyuta. This tells that the royal line is known to exist at least till 1500-1550.

Just like Baghdad was built by dismantling Ctesiphon, Zafargadh was built by dismantling Warangal.

Think about it. If Warangal itself is plundered by Marathas, think of the miserable position of the armies of Hyderabad.

Kakatiya ruling family is known even into 1700s?

The thing with Kaifiyats is, they talk about local legends and collective memory. There can be discrepancies in dates and names but facts generally won't be wrong. The real question then would be, what and all of these are true.

Now look at Pratapa Charitra. Who would have assumed that Prola is Sanskritized as Kakatipralaya?
