Kakatiyas started ruling the eastern deccan during 12th century and the local governorship of the upper Penner valley too changed. the Kayasthas overtook Banas and the Nonambas in ruling the place as governors. Governors Gangeya Sahini, Jannigadeva and Tripuridea took turn in governing the place. Greatest of the successor was Ambadeva (1273 - 1302 AD) who even usurped the Kakatiya throne for some years but could not retain.

Ambadeva issued pagodas similar to that of Chalukya with a punch mark technique. He inscribed his coin with the legend "Sr Raja Desapada Eruva Malli" on the success of is campaign against the Eruva chief Eruva Malli.
