"The main reason of his meteoritic rise within the administration was his deep and enduring sense of duty along with steadfast loyalty to his master. His devotion had been noticed even by the Mughals, who when reporting to their emperor about Assam had said: ‘The (Ahom) king is a veritable Mahadeva, and Momai-tamuli is Mahadeva’s chief henchman or Nandi. As long as these two wield the affairs of Assam, it is impossible to turn your face to that country.’5 Lachit had inherited all these qualities from his father, having observed his father closely, in managing the administration."
