c12.30

A great quantity of loot was taken at Hājo, including two thousand guns and seven hundred horses. The brick buildings which the Muhammadans had erected were all levelled with the ground. It subsequently transpired that, while they were besieged in Hājo, the Muhammadan leaders, with a view to obtaining favourable terms of surrender, had sent to the Bar Phukan, for transmission to the king, a number of pearls and other valuable articles, and that these had been misappropriated by the Bar Phukan, who had also taken fifty families of weavers from Suālkuchi and settled them in the northern part of his own jurisdiction instead of sending them to Upper Assam. For these offences he was arrested and put to death.
