The last days of Krishnadevraya were spent in tremendous anxiety due to several unfortunate events.

Krishnadevraya himself took the position of the prime minister, abdicating his throne in the favour of his son, Tirumala raya, a 6-year old. https://twitter.com/world_sanatan/status/1391358169910153218

Due to this, Saluva Timmarasu, the ex- PM, when Krishnadevraya was the king, got automatically reduced to an ordinary counselor.

The coronation of this boy was celebrated for 8 months as a festival. Immediately after, the boy fell ill and died.

Krishnadevraya suspected Timma Dannayaka, son of Saluva Timmarasu to have administered poison to the boy-king causing illness and eventual death.

Timmarasu along with his family and relatives were sent to prison, which included his aged father too.

However Krishnadevraya adopted Kondamarasu, one of the sons of Timmarasu, as his own son, who helped him in administration as the Prime minister.

Timma Dannayaka, the accused, managed to escape after 3 years of confinement to a hilly region where one of his relatives was ruling

He received military and political assistance from them to revolt against the central power structure.

This revolt caused considerable anxiety to Krishnadevraya though he could ultimately supress the revolt and brought Timma Dannayaka to Vijayanagara.

Such is the story of a great king. History has been a witness to what insiders have done, to completely destroy the culture and heritage of great kings and revolted against their own King.
