Sukhrāngphā, the eldest of the late king’s four sons, ascended the vacant throne. He soon became unpopular, and his half-brother Chāo Pulāi, whom he had appointed to be Sāring Raja, hatched a conspiracy against him. The plot being detected, Chāo Pulāi fled to his kinsman, the Raja of Kāmatā, who agreed to help him and marched to Athgāon and thence to Sāring. Sukhrāngphā became alarmed and, not feeling sufficiently certain of the loyalty of his troops, opened negotiations and became reconciled with Chāo Pulāi.
