Edit Profile
Career
In this Burmese name, Minister is an honorific. Dawlya proved an able king, however. Known as Hsinbyushin for possessing a white elephant, the king "extended Mrauk-U control to the east and west".
He died on the war elephant after having returned from a failed expedition to the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
