c11.26

Sukāphā is said to have left Maulung in 1215 A.D. with a following of eight nobles, and 9,000 men, women and children. It may be surmised, though this is nowhere stated, that the great majority of his followers were adult males. He had with him two elephants, and 300 horses. For thirteen years he wandered about the hilly country of the Pātkāi, making occasional raids on Nāga villages, and in 1228 A.D. he arrived in Khāmjāng.
