At that time the British East India Company was making heavy inroads into the delta and Naranarayan's first task was to strengthen the security of the kingdom.
Naranarayan agreed and temporary Mughal outposts and watch towers were established at Bargachhia, Krishnanagar near Khanakul and Dilakash, on the Ron.
In the ensuing battle Krishnaram not only lost much of his resources including men and money, he was forced pay a huge indemnity.
During his deeksha, he granted the royal guru, the village of Senpur as pranami and more than 50 bighas of tax free lands.
Under his patronage a commentary on Virata Parva and the story of Nachiketa as mentioned in the Katha Upanishad of Krishna Yajurveda were compiled and rewritten.
