The Treaty of Asurar Ali was signed in 1639. It was an important Ahom-Mughal agreement establishing a temporary frontier settlement.

The Treaty of Asurar Ali was signed between the Mughal and Ahom kingdoms. It regulated their frontier after earlier conflict.

Momai Tamuli Barbaruah represented the Ahom side. The Mughal representative was the faujdar Ala Yar Khan.

The treaty was signed by Mughal faujdar Ala Yar Khan and Ahom commander Momai Tamuli Barbaruah. The source also associates the settlement with the Barnadi frontier.

Momai Tamuli Barbaruah is identified as an economist and social reformer in the source. His administrative reforms had lasting importance for the Ahom state.

Sukhampha was known as Khora Raja. He had one of the longest reigns in Ahom history.

Sutingpha (1644–1648) was known as Nariya Raja. His short reign came during a period of political instability.

Jayadhwaj Singha was the first Ahom ruler to formally accept Hinduism according to the source. This marked an important stage in the gradual Hinduisation of the Ahom court.

The source associates Jayadhwaj Singha with the foundation of Auniati and Dakhinpat Satra. These became major centres of Vaishnavite religious and cultural activity.

Jayadhwaj Singha was the Ahom ruler during Mir Jumla's invasion in 1662–63. The conflict ended with the Treaty of Ghiladhari Ghat.

Mir Jumla, the Mughal governor of Bengal, invaded Assam and captured Garhgaon in 1662. His campaign forced the Ahoms into a temporary settlement.
