He was raised to throne by the support of Nushibi (a part of the OnOk confederation) tribes as well as Nishu a cousin of him. However he was not more successful than his predecessor. He couldn't control Syr-Tardush tribes and he executed so many people that even his former partisan Nishu planned to escape. After losing his supporters and prestige he escaped to south in 633. Nishu (with titular name Dulu Khagan) succeeded him.[4]
He tried to raid the city of Balkh (now in north Afghanistan), but was killed in the clash.[5]
