 During this tumultuous condition of the country, no one was guaranteed of life or property. Ruler Chandrakanta Singh, similar to a defeatist, escaped from the capital being mortally scared of the immensely unrivaled Burmese armed force. Thusly, the Burmese authority Mingimaha Tilooa consequently stepped in to turn into the Sovereign of Assam. From that point Assam shuddered under the terrible torment, and outright plunder by the Burmese.


Romaanaath Borua, Joyantee's better half, was at a total misfortune with respect to what to do and where to go. The majority of his companions, family members, workers and partners had previously taken off because of dread for their lives. Others ran away to the thick woods of Assam to gamble with living in the organization of horrendous creatures. Romaanaath saw that it was beyond the realm of possibilities for him to live in his homeland with his life, poise, riches and subordinates. At this stage, he saw no alternate approach to getting by aside from escaping, with his adored spouse, to adjoining Bengal toward the west. He chose to say farewell to his homeland and leave downstream on the strong stream Luit toward Bengal in seven days.


Before they could leave, at some point, around early afternoon, Romaanaath Borua was laying on his bed with shut eyes; he was starting to nod off. Woman Joyantee had completed her housework and was sitting at her better half's side, tenderly and affectionately fanning him with a bamboo fan. Unexpectedly, they heard a boisterous commotion coming from somebody beating on their front entryway. Joyantee got some information about the wellspring of the sound. Since she got no answer, she, at the end of the day, strolled to the entryway and saw that three equipped Burmese warriors were raising a ruckus around town with their weighty clubs and had proactively crushed it into pieces. Joyantee became appalled, and she began shaking savagely. It was not satisfactory where the workers and assistants in the house had taken off. In no time flat, the Burmese went into the house, tied up Joyantee and Romaanaath and began stealing from the place of every one of its resources.


Noticing the upset state of the realm, Romaanaath Borua had sent all the significant gems and other costly products to his mom's home in Guwahati, about several hundred miles away toward the west. Thus, the Burmese thieves didn't track down quite a bit of resources to take. Thus, they ended up being furious. Their eyes gleamed savagely and they ground their teeth in irritation. The main Burmese took a gander at the second and snarled, ''These individuals are shrewd. They have stowed away the entirety of their costly gems.'' The subsequent Burmese didn't answer the first, yet took his long calfskin belt and, energetically, hit Romaanaath multiple times on the back, and shouted at him, ''Where have you stowed away the entirety of your cash and costly belongings, you bastard? Show them to us immediately. Any other way, we will burn down the house, and consume you two inside this moment.''


The strong strikes of the scourge caused Romaanaath Borua has returned to drain plentifully; he began crying, yelling and throwing about in colossal agony. Seeing her significant other in such an unfortunate condition, Joyantee began crying likewise, and with collapsed hands, she sorrowfully mentioned the looters, ''If it's not too much trouble, have compassion for me, sirs and fathers; kindly don't hit my better half any longer. I swear for the sake of the All-powerful, we have no assets left right now. Anything cash, gems and decorations we had, we sent them to the homes of our family members in Guwahati in light of the fact that we were wanting to leave Rongpoore. In this way, regardless of whether you cut us into 100 pieces, you won't track down anything by any means. In this way, our dads, kindly don't torment us any more; filling any need isn't going. If it's not too much trouble, take anything that you find and permit us to live. I'm imploring at your feet, kindly don't hurt my significant other any longer. I have a lovely jewelry on my neck and a couple of costly bangles in my grasp. Kindly take these and let my significant other go.''


Saying this, she took the bangles and the accessory off and gave them to the Burmese. Hearing her mournful supplications, the three Burmese men began giggling mockingly. ''We are not small kids, you tramp! Show us promptly your secret fortunes. Any other way, we will bear down so hard that your conceal will tear, as well. Then we will tie both of you inside the house, set it ablaze and consume you both alive to cinders.''


Without paying any regard to the wailing Joyantee, the roughnecks continued tormenting Romaanaath Borua with persistent whipping and striking. At long last, when the Burmese saw that they couldn't get any resources even in the wake of causing a lot of torment, the main Burmese checked out at the other and expressed, ''Come on now, we should accept these two with us. The man is very solid and all around constructed. Allow us to return every one of our possessions on his and let him convey them like a pack animal. Afterward, when we arrive at home we will cut him into pieces.''


'' The lady is a lovely wonder. Back in our country, we will introduce her to the lord as a gift. The lord will be incredibly satisfied to get the endowment of such a delightful lady.''


The subsequent Burmese communicated his issue with what the first said, ''Sibling, what's going on with you? At the point when we find something significant, you need to introduce it to the lord. Why? For what reason would it be advisable for us to give everything to the lord? This excellence is mine to appreciate. Both of you take all the adornments and assets you need, yet she is mine.''


Hearing this the third Burmese began roaring, ''Whom does she have a place with? You? No! I won't permit that. I will see who dares to remove her from me. She is totally mine. There can't be any inquiries regarding it.''


At the point when the two men began battling uproariously and energetically over the lady, the main Burmese turned into the voice of reason and quieted the other by saying, ''We will settle on this later. We should not battle about it now.'' Then, at that point, they stacked their plunder on the rear of Romaanaath Borua, attached him and his better half to a chain, and began their forward venture. Joyantee began imploring the all-powerful Master Krishna who safeguards the dependable. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
