Manipur king who lost to Alaunghpaya--when he was still U Aung Zeya?

The Manipur king who lost to Alaungpaya during his 1758-59 invasion was Meidingu Gourashyam (Gaurisiam), though Gaurisiam fled, and his brother Bhagyachandra (also known as Bhagyachandra) fought and was defeated, with the Burmese finding the capital deserted as Gaurisiam and his people hid in the jungles. Alaungpaya's campaign aimed to avenge earlier Manipuri incursions and spread Buddhism, resulting in devastation for Manipur before he was called back to deal with a Mon rebellion in Lower Burma. Key Details of the Conflict: The Invader: Alaungpaya, founder of the Konbaung Dynasty, led the Burmese forces. The Manipuri Rulers: King Gourashyam (reigned 1753-1759) was on the throne, but Alaungpaya defeated his brother Bhagyachandra, forcing Gaurisiam to flee. Outcome: Alaungpaya occupied the capital, Imphal, but soon withdrew due to Mon uprisings, leaving Manipur devastated but temporarily free from direct Burmese rule until later invasions.
