c12.28

The same night the Ahoms, with nearly five hundred ships, attacked the hostile fleet and gained a decisive victory. Muhammad Sālih was killed, Bāyazid was made prisoner, and the greater part of the fleet fell into the hands of the victors. This disaster is ascribed by the author of the Pādishāhnāmah to the perfidy of Sattrajit, who is accused of having informed the Ahoms of the departure of the Muhammadan leader, and of having retired with his own ships as soon as the attack began. The Ahom chroniclers state that three hundred boats of all sizes and three hundred cannon and guns were captured, as well as other spoils.
