In 1664 two forces were sent from Darbhanga and Gorakhpur to co-operate in chastising the rebel Rajah of Morang (a hill country west of Kuch Bihar and north of the Purnea district). The campaign took time but ended in success. On 20th Dec. Alawardi Khan the faujdar of Gorakhpur presented to the Emperor some precious things and 14 elephants exacted from Morang. Early in 1676 we read of Morang being conquered anew, by Shaista Khan, the governor of Bengal.
