== Biography ==<br />
Mula was the daughter of the [[Ahom dynasty|Ahom king]] [[Supimphaa]],<ref>{{harvcol|Gogoi|Bora|2011|p=1511}}</ref> and the wife of Phrasengmong Borgohain.<ref name="pathak2018">{{cite book |title=Assamese women in Indian independence movement : with a special emphasis on Kanaklata Barua |publisher=Mittal Publications |isbn=9788183242332|year=2008 }}</ref> King of the [[Ahom kingdom]] at that time was [[Suhungmung]], her brother. Mula Gabhoru's husband, Phrasengmung, heard that the minister Khunlung and other warriors lost their lives in the hands of Turbak. Mula Gabharu said to Phrasengmung, '[There are] dark clouds in the skies of Assam. To keep the freedom of Assam, [to be] free from the destruction of the enemy, join the war'. Her husband told her, "You are an idol of bravery, whose wife is fearlessness; there will be no fear in his life. Life and death are not bigger than the independence of this country''. The shield of self-defense and the weapon of courage is the best shield. During the war, Mulagabhoru gave her hands to her husbands and said, "Be able to protect your country, your own son, and your own wealth and honor with these words."<br />
<br />
== Promise to defeat Turbak ==<br />
Phrasengmung promised by lighting 101 lamps, a tradition known as ''Kin Lao'', that he will take the determination of protecting his country, son, awards, and honors. The Ahom soldiers, who wore armors, were themselves unbeatable. Phrasengmung<ref name="phukan">{{cite book |title=Bīrāṅganā Mūlā Gābharu |publisher=Candra Prakāśa |isbn=978-9324402257 |edition=1st|year=2011 }}</ref> did not get the chance to wear his armor and fought without armor. After seven days of fighting, the news of her husband's death reached Mula Gabhoru. In mourning, she promised to destroy the murderers of her husband. After that, she took a Hengdan and joined the war. On the fourth day of the war, she saw her husband's murderer, the commander Turbak Khan. Seeing her husband's murderer in the war zone, Nang Mula bravely fought with Turbak Khan.<ref name="pathak">{{cite book |title=Assam's history and its graphics |publisher=Mittal Publications |isbn=9788183242516|year=2008 }}</ref> But Turbak Khan was a trained fighter and so he killed Mula Gabharu. After her death, the Ahom soldiers were awakened in new strength. Under the leadership of Kanseng Borpatra Gohain, the Ahom soldiers defeated Turbak in the place of Mokh.<br />
