Min Saw Mon was restored to the Launggyet throne, and Arakan became a vassal state of the Bengal Sultanate.
The control of Arakan was part of the Forty Years' War between Ava and Hanthawaddy Pegu on the Burmese mainland.
[note 1] The former Arakanese ruler Min Saw Mon received asylum in the Bengal Sultanate and lived there in Pandua for 24 years.
Saw Mon became close to the Bengal Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah, serving as a commander in the king's army.
[citation needed] In 1429, Saw Mon aided by troops "largely made up of Afghan adventurers" invaded Arakan.
[6] However, the first confirmed successful occupation of Chittagong came only nine years later in 1459 when King Ba Saw Phyu seized the port from Sultan Rukunuddin Barbak Shah.
