The whole Chutiya country was now annexed, and a new officer of State, known as the Sadiyā Khowa Gohāin, was appointed to administer it. In order to strengthen his position, three hundred Ahoms of the Gharphaliya clan, with their families and twelve chiefs, were removed from Garhgāon to Sadiya, and another contingent of the same clan were settled on the banks of the Dihing river. The royal family, with the leading men amongst the Chutiyas, were deported to Pākariguri, while a number of Brāhmans and of blacksmiths and other artisans were taken from Sadiya to the Ahom capital. Having settled all these matters, Suhungmung returned to Charāideo where he performed the Rikkhvān ceremony.
