in present-day Sonitpur District. The rebels crossed the river Brahmaputra at Duimuni-sila or Silghat in present-day Nagaon District. Having received this news Bhadari Borbarua sent out three companies of newly trained Ahom army to Silghat. The royal soldiers opened fire at the rebels, inflicting heavy losses. The rebels were defeated and many of them were killed, and others were drowned while trying to get into their boats. A few others were also captured alive; they were subsequently beheaded and their heads were transfixed to spears near the two celebrated rocks of Duimuni Sila as a warning to others. The remaining Dafala-Moamoria rebels fled to the north bank to seek refuge in the forests and hills. Purnananda Burhagohain was unable to continue pursuit for rebels across the river, as he was still engaged in the restoration of order on the south bank of Brahmaputra, and in setting up a stable central administration, which got disrupted during the long civil war. Meanwhile, the Dafalas- Moamorias rebels in the North Bank were united by one leader name Phofai Senapati. He gathered all his forces at Baskata and then dispatched one Madhuram Bairagi to Bengal to fetch a detachment of sepoys and mercenaries. With the help of these mercenaries the rebels ravaged numerous villages creating an atmosphere of terror among the common people. Prime Minister Purnananda Burhagohain immediately marched towards the rebels with several companies of Ahom army. The King ordered the Dekaphukan, an officer stationed in Guwahati, to cross over to North Bank to aid Purnananda Burhagohain. Dekaphukan's forces were ambushed by the rebels at the bank of Bharali River, however the rebels suffered defeat and they retreated to Baskata. Meanwhile, the Premier crossed to the North Bank, near the present town of Tezpur, and very soon reduced the Dafalas to submission. He proceeded to Goramur where he defeated several rebel bands, killing and capturing many rebel leaders. The Chief rebel leader Phofai Senapati got shot and killed in action. A large number of buffaloes, cows, ornaments and other articles were recovered from the rebels and confiscated to the State.
