The year 1548 was marked by a terrible earthquake. The earth opened in many places, and sand, ashes and pebbles were poured forth. In the same year Dighalmar Sāndhikai formed a conspiracy against the king. The plot was discovered and all the conspirators were put to death. Soon afterwards the Bānpara Nāgas invoked the aid of the Ahom king against the Bānchāng Nāgas. This was given. The Bānchāng Nāgas were defeated; their chief was made prisoner, and a number of buffaloes and bison and much other booty fell into the hands of the victors.
