Other local governors were also appointed from time to time, such as the Sadiya Khowa Gohāin, who ruled at Sadiya, and whose appointment dates from the overthrow of the Chutiya kingdom in 1523; the Morangi Khowa Gohāin, governor of the Nāga marches west of the Dhansiri; the Solāl Gohāin, who administered a great part of Nowgong and a portion of Chārduār after the head-quarters of the Bar Phukan had been transferred to Gauhāti; the Kājali Mukhia Gohāin, who resided at Kājalimukh and commanded a thousand men; the Raja of Sāring, and the Raja of Tipām, or the tract round Jaipur on the right bank of the Buri Dihing. The two last-mentioned were usually relatives of the king himself, the Sāring Raja being the heir-apparent and the Tipām Raja, the next in order of succession.
