Chandrakānt’s success was not of long duration. In the spring of 1822 Mingi Mahā Bandula, who afterwards commanded the Burmese forces in Arakan, arrived from Ava with large reinforcements, and in June a battle took place at Māhgarh. Chandrakānt is said to have displayed great personal bravery, and for some time his troops held their own, but in the end their ammunition gave out and they were defeated with a loss of fifteen hundred men.
