Rudra Singh at first intended to punish the two commanders for the ultimate failure of the expedition, but he pardoned them on the intercession of the other nobles. In the course of the rising the Ahoms had lost 2,366 men killed, including twelve high officers.* On the side of the enemy, excluding the massacre at Jaintiapur, very few were killed, but seven hundred were made prisoners. In addition, about 1,600 persons, chiefly Assamese refugees, were brought from Khāspur, and about 600 from Jaintiapur. The booty taken in the course of the expedition included three cannon, 2,273 guns, 109 elephants, 12,000 pieces of silver of the Muhammadan, Ahom, Koch and Jaintia mints, and numerous utensils of gold, silver and other metals. Certain articles of jewellery, which formed part of the loot, were misappropriated by some of the officers attached to the expedition, but they were detected and compelled to disgorge them.
