Suhenphā was succeeded by his son Supimphā, who at once set himself to trace out and punish his father’s murderers. This led to the revolt of the Burhā Gohāin, who appears to have been suspected of complicity. There is a story that one of Supimphā’s wives happened to see a Nāga chief, who had come to pay tribute, and praised his beauty in the king's hearing. The latter was so incensed at this that he sent her to the Nāga's village. She was pregnant at the time and subsequently gave birth to a son of whom more will be heard later on. Supimphā died, or, as some say, was assassinated, in 1497.
