Miri-Sandikoi and Moran-Patar were Sandikoi and Patar from the Mising and Moran communities, [10] This was true even for the priestly clans: Naga-Bailung, Miri-bailung and Nara-Bailung [11] Ahom Chutias formed the major sub-division. They were termed as such as they intermarried with the already mixed Ahoms.
The name is derived from Bhishmaka of Vidarbha, the Hindu lineage created for the Chutias in the 16th-century Rukmimi-harana by Srimanta Sankardeva. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] A brick with the name of the Chutiya king Lakshminarayan indicates that the fort was repaired during the early 15th-century. [ 38 ]
Over time, the main groups that had supported the Ahom kingdom came to owe allegiance to the Moamara sattra: Morans (the mainstay of the Ahom militia), the Sonowal Kacharis (gold-washers), Chutias (expert archers and matchlockmen), professional castes such as Hiras (potters), Tantis (weavers), Kaibartas, and Ahom nobles and officers.
