In 1577 three men named Gābhāru Nāik, Bardādo and Barkāth rebelled against the Koch king Nar Nārāyan, but failed in their attempt, and fled with 1,400 men to Sukhāmphā, who accorded them his protection and settled them at Gajalā. In 1585 the Koch king Raghu Deb gave his daughter Sankalā in marriage to Sukhāmphā, with a dowry of two elephants, seven horses and a hundred domestics.* Sukhāmphā in return, presented him with twenty-two elephants and twelve horses.
