Einda Thiri

Einda Thiri (Burmese: ဣန္ဒသီရိ, pronounced [ʔèiɴda̰ θìɹḭ]; Pali: Indasīri) was a daughter of King Mohnyin Thado of Ava, and governor of Pagan.[1] The princess was the first known female ruler of the Pagan (Bagan) capital region. Her tenure at the ancient capital city of Pagan (Bagan) probably began c.1433.[note 1] Chronicles do not say when her tenure at Pagan ended.

Notes

  1. (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 282) only says she was governor in her father's reign (1426–1439) without providing when exactly she was appointed. But based chronicle reporting elsewhere, she may have succeeded c.1433/34. (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 278) and (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 69–70) say Thado appointed her predecessor Tarabya's son governor of Amyint with his father's title in early 1434. This means Tarabya the elder may have died by then.
