 Nitipal agreed on sending the elephants and the girl, but did not give the royal heirloom as it belonged to his ancestors.Instead, after a month, he sent other gifts like gold and silver-gilded Jaapi ("Kham-Ngiu-Kup"), gold ring ("Khup-kham"), gold basket("Liu-kham"), gold umbrella("Chang-kham"), gold bookstand ("Khu-tin-kham"), golden bracelets ("Mao-kham"), Xorai, elephants, horses, ivory-mats, knives and "Panikamoli" cloth and started building a fort on the banks of Lohit river.The Ahom king took the knives and the building of the fort as a sign of war and attacked Sadiya during Bohag month of 1524.
