Lāngi Pānisiya, who had distinguished himself by rallying the fugitive soldiers and restoring orders amongst them, was rewarded by being given the newly-created post of Bar Phukan, or governor of the conquered provinces west of Koliābar. The tracts east of Koliābar outside the jurisdictions of the Bar Gohāin and Burhā Gohāin were at the same time placed under the administration of another new functionary known as the Bar Barua. The first incumbent of this post was Māmāi Tāmuli, the King's uncle.
