Sudāngphā devoted the remaining years of his reign to completing the subjugation of the Tipām, Khāmjāng and Aiton tribes, whose chiefs had again refused to pay tribute. It was found that they had received encouragement from the Narā Raja. Messengers were sent to remonstrate with him; he warned the recusant chiefs not to expect any further aid from him and they then submitted. Sudāngphā died in 1407 after a reign of ten years. Gunābhirām says that this king gave himself up to a life of self-indulgence, but none of the Buranjis in any way confirm this statement, and its accuracy is doubtful. His reign was a very eventful one, and in one battle at least he fought at the head of his troops.
