Susenphā was followed by his son Suhenphā. War was renewed with the Tangsu Nāgas, who were ultimately defeated, though, at the commencement of hostilities, they routed a detachment of Ahoms, and cut off the head of the Bar Gohāin who was in command. In 1490 war broke out with the Kachāris. The Ahom army was defeated at Dampuk, on the bank of the Dikhu, with the loss of a commander and one hundred and twenty men killed and many more wounded. The Ahoms sued for peace, and a princess was sent to the Kachāri king with two elephants and twelve female slaves as her dowry.†
