Suhungmung’s army was commandeered by his general, Tonkham Borpatra Gohain (Barpatra Gohain is a title given by the king to the 3rd in rank in the Ahom court of ministers). The battle took place at Duimunisila along the banks of the mighty Bharali River. In the words of Leslie Shakespear from his book History of Upper Assam, Upper Burmah and North-Eastern Frontier , the Ahom Raja “sent large reinforcements by land and river. Turbak’s forces were defeated, he himself killed, and his head, as was customary, was sent for burial on Charaideo hill. The beaten and disorganized forces were pursued by the victorious Ahoms through Koch territory to the Karatoya River.”
