The Sadiyā Khowā Gohāin was shortly afterwards attacked by Phukāngmung, a chief of one of the neighbouring hill tribes. The latter was defeated and slain, but not before he had himself killed one of the Ahom commanders with his spear. Another local chief, who had been inclined to give trouble, thereupon made his submission and sent a daughter to the royal seraglio. In 1525 Suhungmung proceeded in person to the Dihing country and appointed officers to administer the frontier provinces of Hābung, Dihing and Banlung.
