In 1819, supporters of Chandrakanta Simha again sought help from the Burmese. The latter agreed to help them and successfully invaded Assam. This time they did not return home but stayed, having restored Chandrakanta to the throne. The king, however was dissatisfied with being a Burmese puppet and fled to British territory from where he made a number of unsuccessful raids against the Burmese. When the Burmese failed to coax Chandrakanta back to Assam, they replace him with an Ahom prince of uncertain ancestory by name of Jogesvara Simha.
