After Chach's death, [[Matta (chief)|Matta]], the ruler of [[Sehwan Sharif]], began to conspire against Chandar. Matta had formerly been the autonomous chief of Siwistan; however, he had been subjugated during one of Chach's campaigns, and intended to regain independence. He sent an emissary to [[King Siharas|Siharas]], ruler of [[Kannauj]], noting that Chandar was a monk who allegedly spent his entire day at prayer, and who would thus be a weak foe. He asked Siharas to invade Sindh, and to cede a portion of these lands to Siwistan. Siharas refused, but conceded to Matta's request for a governorship if he succeeded in conquering Sindh. Matta agreed to pay tribute to Siharas in exchange for this post. | After Chach's death, [[Matta (chief)|Matta]], the ruler of [[Sehwan Sharif]], began to conspire against Chandar.

Aligned with Chach's grandson, Siharas entered Sindh and besieged Chandar in Alor. During a parley with Sindhi forces, Siharas was seized; he agreed to end the war, sending hostages with robes of honor to Chandar. Chandar eventually formed an alliance with Siharas. | Aligned with Chach's grandson, Siharas entered Sindh and besieged Chandar in Alor.
