When the news reached king Singu, his followers fled and he thought of taking refuge in Manipur; but his mother, the queen dowager, indignantly insisted on his playing the man. He went alone at dawn to the palace gate, and when challenged by the guard answered: "It is I, Singu, lawful lord of the palace." They fell back respectfully, and he entered the courtyard. There he saw a minister, father to one of the queens he had murdered. He made for him exclaiming: "Traitor, I am come to take possession of my right." The minister seized a sword and cut him down. At least he died royally.
