After conquering victory in several pitched battles, the Commander Amarketu proved his prowess by using his own power to lay down the trunk of a drunken elephant on the Royal Court.

The King appeased Amarketu by honouring him with a honorary garland, gold coins and gave him the title of 'Chaแน‡แธabhฤซma' after witnessing his extraordinary powers. 

Under the command of Senapati Chandabheema Amaraketu, 50000 infantry, 2000 Cavalry, 500 elephants and many matchlokmen were appointed. Due to the power of Amarketu, Medinipur was not only extremely powerful but also governed without disturbance.

Amarketu's physical strength was so great that he - could kill a ferocious forest tiger with a blow of his fist, could single- handedly carry a stone weighing 15 mons (600 kgs), could fight with two hands with two swords of half a mon weight (20 kgs).

He killed countless Pathans and Bargis. When the Bargi and Pathan raids started in Bengal, the fierce Mahishya warriors of Medinipur successfully defeated them in Senapati Amarketu's leadership and forced to retreat.
