He successfully fought against sultanates of Bengal, Jaunpur, Malwa, Bahmani and Hindu kingdoms of Reddi and Vijayanagar. Odisha saw a great social, cultural, linguistic and religious revival during his reign. The author has done an in-depth analysis of the life of Kapilendra Deva and presented it in a structured manner for the benefit of both serious and general readers.” DRIVE
