Cocks, A Short History of Burma (1919), p. 75: "The Manipuris had planned an invasion of Burma and obtained a promise of help from the East India Company.... the Raja of that state undertook the invasion unaided in the following year.

Thant, The Making of Modern Burma (2001), p. 573: "Thousands of Manipuris were forcibly deported to the Burmese capital and the combination of war, flight and deportation left Manipur virtually empty for years. Many of these captives were boatmen, smiths, weavers and artisans who became hereditary crown servants at Ava, and for generations they, their descendants and later Manipuri deportees formed an underclass in the valley, acting as domestic servants, menial labourers and agricultural workers for the Burmese royal family and nobility. They also formed the new Cassay Horse, an elite cavalry regiment, a few gaining fame as the best polo-players of their generation.".

Singha, Marriage Diplomacy (2016), p. 878: "The invasion of Manipur by the Burmese in 1764 under their able King Hsinbyushin was so fierce that the then ruling king of Manipur Bhagyachandra (1759-1762 and 1763-1798) had to flee from his kingdom and it took around four years for the King to regain his lost throne.".
