869:. One of the Ahom Buranji or historical document describes the event in an interesting way. Suteuphaa claimed the track east of Dikhou river as his own. The local Kachari inhabitants opposed his claim. Instead of resorting to warfare, both sides decided to solve this matter in a peaceful way. The Ahom challenged the Kacharis to build a canal from their settlement to Dikhou river within a duration of one night. If the Kacharis successfully complete the work within allotted time, the track will be theirs otherwise it would come under Ahom rule. The Kacharis accepted the challenge. They worked on the construction of the canal and were on the verge of completing it when the Ahoms resorted to tricks. On Suteuphaa’s personal instruction, some Ahom soldiers were hiding in the forest near the construction site. Each soldier had one rooster along with them. Seeing that the Kacharis were on the verge of completing the canal, the Ahom soldiers hiding in the forest, made the roosters to cock. Since it was full moon night, the Kacharis could not determine the actual time and they believed that they have lost the bet since cocking of rooster signifies morning. The Kacharis abandoned the track, and the Ahoms immediately occupied it.
