In 1655 the Miris made a raid and killed two Ahom subjects. The force sent against them defeated with considerable loss a body of three hundred Miris and burned twelve of their villages; the tribe then gave way and agreed to pay an annual tribute of bison, horses, tortoises, swords and yellow beads (probably amber), and gave up twelve men to the Ahoms in the place of the two whom they had killed.
