After his interview with the Manipur Raja, Gaurināth stayed for some time in Nowgong. His numerous followers irritated the villagers by their constant demands for supplies and other acts of oppression, and the discontent thus caused at last found vent in open revolt. The leader of the rebels was a man named Sinduri Hājarika. An attack was made on the king who fled precipitately up the Kallang river. He took shelter for a short time in the *Sattras* of the Auniāti and Dakhinpāt Gosāins, and then went downstream to Gauhāti. Here fresh troubles awaited him.
