When these chivalrous women heard of the invaders they joined Kānhan with a large retinue. In the battle that ensued these 'tigresses' charged the enemy with such fury that he was compelled to fall back some distance.

The vanquished army retreated precipitately; its rout was complete and its losses heavy.
