Assertion (A): The invasions of Krishnadeva Raya into the territories of Prataparudra were inconclusive.
Reason (R): Krishnadeva Raya invaded the territories of the Gajpathi not for the latter's extinction but only for the recovery of lost territories.

Krishnadevaraya had to take initiative otherwise the Gajapatis could have probably overridden the Vijayanagara Empire. After his success against the Ummattur chiefs, he was emboldened to undertake a campaign against the Gajapatis. As a result of this, he fought with the Gajapatis of Odisha and won against them. The Gajapatis lost most of their territories in Telangana and Andhra to the Vijayanagara Empire.
