The years 1535 and 1536 were taken up with hostilities against the Khāmjāng, Tāblung and Nāmsāng Nāgas. The operations were entrusted to the king's son Suklen, who had already distinguished himself in the struggle with the Muhammadans. The Khāmjāng Nāgas soon yielded and paid a fine of one hundred *mithun* (bison), which were presented to the king, but the two other tribes inflicted a reverse on the Ahom troops, who retreated with the loss of four guns. Shortly afterwards, however, they made their submission and returned the guns.
