Khān-i-Daurān now turned his attention to the second Bhañja prince, Lakshmī Nārāyaṇa Bhañja of Keonjhar, who had wrested the fort of Bachhara from the men of Shuja’, which has been identified by Sarkar as Pachhara of Stirling and Panchira of the Atlas. The Ṣūbāhdār left Katak on 8th March and ravaged Keonjhar after recovering the fort. At a subsequent date Bahādur Khan of Hijli was defeated and captured with his family. Now followed the submission of most of the Zamindars and Chiefs of Orissa. The Bhañja chief of Kanika had taken shelter on an island on the sea-coast where he was besieged by the Faujdār Muḥammad Jān. Finally the Rāvat Rāi of Kuyila Madhupur, Harichandra of Kulrah and Chhut Rai of Kalikot were subdued.
