The Arakanese deported 3000 households of the wretched Pegū folk and went off with a white elephant and a daughter of the fallen king for their own royal harem; they also took brazen cannon and the thirty bronze images of Ayuthia (p. 488); and retaining Syriam they left it in charge of one of their Portuguese mercenaries, De Brito. The prince of Toungoo took away the Ceylon Tooth and begging bowl (p. 490) with more than twelve caravan-loads of loot.
