‘Abdus Salām wrote to Dacca for aid; the governor sent him reinforcements under Shaikh Muhiuddin (a brother of ‘Abdus Salām), Muhammad Sālih Kambu, Sayyid Zain-ul-‘ābidin and other high officers (c. July 1636). But through mismanagement among the leaders and the deceitful reports of Satrajit, the Mughals lost the post at Pāndu. ‘Abdus Salām held Hajo and the outposts near it and sent Zain-ul-‘ābidin eastwards to meet the Ahoms, who were pushed back to their frontier at Srighāt. Desultory fighting continued for some months.
