A History of Assam c9.26

c9.26

One of the legends of the Bāro Bhuiyā mentions Durlabh Nārāyan as a Rājā of Kāmatā and, if it can be relied on, he would seem to have ruled, at the end of the thirteenth century, over the country between the Bar Nadi and the Karatoya. About the same time, mention is made in the Ahom Buranjis of a war between the Ahoms and the Kāmatā Raja, in which the latter was worsted and forced to give a daughter in marriage to the Ahom monarch. In the reign of the latter's successor, a Raja of Kāmatā intervened in a quarrel between him and his rebellious half-brother, who was a son of the Kāmatā princess, invaded his country and compelled him to agree to a reconciliation.
