Susenphā, a son of Suphākphā by a Tipām princess, now ascended the throne. The chief occurrence of his reign was an expedition against the Tangsu Nāgas in retaliation for raids committed by them. The king, who led his troops in person, attacked and routed the Nāgas, but the Ahoms lost one hundred and forty men in the battle.* A ruler of some country to the east of Assam is said to have sent presents to Susenphā in order to make friends with him, and the Ākhāmpā Nāgas came in with a present of swords as a token of their submission.
