Although of Naga origin himself, he displayed hostility towards the Thangal Naga. During most of his reign he was engaged in warfare against the Kingdom of Burma. His reign lasted 39 years and during that time, the realm of Manipur extended from the Irrawaddy in the east to Cachar and Tripura in the west.
At some points during his reign, his realm extended into the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
The Burmese King asked for the hand (in marriage) of another of Charairongba"s daughters. Instead of a princess, the King of Burma was met by cavalry, led by Pamheiba that massacred the Burmese army, and brought many Prisoner Of War to Imphal.
In 1734, Pamheiba invaded Tripura and captured 1100 POWs, who were absorbed into the Meitei community. The reign was then followed by Ching-Thang Khomba.
