His reign was dominated by his Dalwai(Delavoi)s (a role similar to seneschal or commander-in-chief), including Devarajaiya Urs (Devaraja Girachuri), who also served as regent (1724–1732 and 1733–1746) until Krishna attained majority, and Hyder Ali, who came to be considered the de facto ruler of Mysore (Sarvadhikari) from 1761 until his death in 1782.
