context_page_description: Prataparudra Deva was the last Gajapati emperor of Odisha from the Suryavamshi dynasty started by his grandfather Kapilendra Deva Routaraya. He ruled from the year 1497 to 1540 A.D. Besides being a ruler, he was a devout Vaishnava and adherent of the famous saint, Sri Chaitanaya who arrived in Odisha during is rule. His life was extremely occupied with overwhelming military campaigns in defense of his inherited territory from three frontal invasions by the enemy states Vijayanagar, Hussain Shahi dynasty of Bengal and Qutb Shahi dynasty of Golconda. He lost large portions of his territory to the neighboring enemy states initiating the dissolution of Odisha's military hegemony and imperial status that continued for nearly a period of 600 years before him.
context_section_description: Disheartened by the death of his son in enemy captivity and his other family members taken as prisoners by Vijayanagar along with his queen, Prataparudra decided to enter into treaty with Krishnadevaraya. As per the treaty, the territories north of the river Krishna were returned to Odisha along with all the family members taken as prisoners in the war. In return Prataparudra had to marry of his daughter Jaganmohini also known as Tukla, Bhadra and Annapurna Devi in marriage to Krishnadevaraya. Later she was abandoned by her husband on the ground of suspicion of being a threat to his life. She lived a life of loner at Kumbham in Kurnool district. She wrote a poem called Tukka Panchakam in which she had confessed the negligent and alienating behavior of Krishnadevaray towards her.
