These incursions are known as "Harama Attack" planned led by his chief minister Gu Tha. The Arakanese raided the cities of Bassein, Dala, Danubyu and Hinthada as much of lower Irrawaddy valley in 1744, and again in 1745 as the king possessed war spoils. Later in the period between 1745 and 1749, which Arakan ravaged Bengal and carried away large amounts of Bengali taken slaves to be sold at a cattle market.
