A grandson or nephew of the old king, Zhai Ya Ma Wu An, was acknowledged by the Lê dynasty as vassal ruler but died under murky circumstances in 1478, either by illness or assassination.
Gu Lai had to flee the country and reached Hainan Island in China with his court and some 1000 followers.
Gu Lai's reign in Champa was marked by continuing conflicts with Vietnam, and he asked the Ming Emperor to intervene and make a settlement.
Sha Gu Bu Luo appears as king in the next years, though relations with the Ming became rarer over time.
