Fresh war with Ahoms. During the convulsions that shook the Ahom kingdom in the latter part of the eighteenth century, many Moāmariās and other Ahom subjects took shelter in the territory of the Kachāri king Krishna Chandra, chiefly in the country along the upper reaches of the Jamuna. In Kamalesvar's reign the extradition of these refugees was demanded and refused. This resulted in a war, which lasted from 1803 until 1805, when a decisive defeat was inflicted on the Kachāris and their Moāmariā allies.
