During his mortal illness, Pratāp Singh was attended by his three sons Surāmphā, Sutyinphā and Sāi. The last mentioned, who was the youngest, collected a number of armed men in readiness to seize his brothers and force his way to the throne as soon as his father died, but the eldest, Surāmphā, after obtaining the support of his brother Sutyinphā, by saying that he himself was childless and promising to make him his heir, closed the gates of the city and disarmed and ejected the conspirators.
