After this victory, Lachit Borphukan, after obtaining permission from Ahom king Swargadeo Udayaditya Singha, installed Gandharva Narayan as the king of Beltola.
Udayaditya Singha was murdered through the machinations of Debera Borbarua, who then inaugurated a veritable reign of terror, killing rival princes or mutilating their limbs, doing away with his rivals and opponents, and dismissing or appointing officers at will.
