The conquest
[edit]It is recorded in the Gopinathpur inscription that the Sultan of Bengal, identified as Shamsuddin Ahmad Shah, invaded the territories of the Gajapati Empire but then he was defeated by Gopinath Mahapatra, a General and minister of Kapilendra Deva.[2][3][4] Kapilendra Deva advanced and invaded the south-west Bengal.[5] The Gajapati Empire came into war against the independent Sultan of Bengal or the Bengal Sultanate during the early 15th century. The war perhaps continues for several years, as Kapilendra Deva achieved some permanent domination in the conquest. His conquest of Bengali territories might have been extensive. It is claimed that he defeated "Malika Parisa" which have been identified as the contemporary Sultan of Bengal, Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah. The Gajapati, after his conquest of the Gauda region, styled himself as the Gaudeshwar (Lord of Gauda).[6][1]
