Bhakti movement. After the Bhakti movement Kings of Odisha increasingly became escapists and due to the Hare Krishna movement they got increasingly dependent on Karma and lost interest in war.

Once powerful Khandayata community slowly started losing their glory and got increasingly involved in agriculture. (source : google & other )
