Jayadhvaj Singh now resolved on flight, and orders were issued for the collection of a thousand boats in which to remove his property. The Burhā Gohāin and some others were ordered to remain at Garhgāon, while the king with the Bar Barua and Bar Phukan fled, first to Charaideo, and then to Tārāisāt. Here he held a council, at which there was a consensus of opinion that it was impossible to resist the Muhammadan host. He sent envoys with presents to sue for peace, but his overtures were again rejected and he was told that Mir Jumlah would soon be in Garhgāon, where alone he would treat with the Raja. The Ahom king then continued his flight to Tipām and thence to Nāmrup, the easternmost province of his kingdom. He was accompanied by a number of his nobles and about five thousand men. The Bar Gohāin fled to Tira, and many of the other officials took shelter on the Mājuli.
