In this sixth episode of the mini-series, we explore the final, triumphant stage of Krishnadevaraya's eastern campaigns and his journey to the zenith of his power. This episode details the fall of Rajahmundry, the final confrontation with the Gajapatis of Odisha at Cuttack, and the diplomatic negotiations that followed.

Ramjee Chandran also recounts the dramatic Battle of Raichur, where Krishnadevaraya defeated the Adil Shahi Sultanate. While the Battle of Raichur took Krishnadevaraya to the height of glory, he suffered a moment of hubris that rang like a bell of caution.
