The Burhā Gohāin was unable at the time to continue the pursuit across the river, as he was still engaged in restoring order on the south bank, and in renovating the town of Rangpur, which had been much damaged during the long civil war. But as soon as he was free, he crossed to the north bank, near the present town of Tezpur, and very soon reduced the Daflas to submission. He proceeded to Gorāmur where he defeated several rebel bands, capturing and putting to death Phophāi Senapati and other leaders. He next marched to the mouth of the Kherketia Suti, and thence to Singaluguri, where a number of Moāmariā refugees had collected. These also he defeated. Their Mahanta, Pitāmbar, was captured and put to death, but another leader, known as Bharathi Raja, escaped; this man is probably identical with the Bharath Singh whom the Moāmariās installed at Rangpur in 1791. A great quantity of booty was taken, and many prisoners, who were deported to Khutiapota.
