Shin Panthagu
Edit ProfileCareer
Foreign the next five decades, he was the chief religious adviser to King Alaungsithu, and helped advise many of Alaungsithu"s religious deeds. The notable works were the repairs of the Buddhagaya Temple circa 1118, and the buildings of the Thatbyinnyu Temple, and the Shwegugyi Temple. Shin Panthagu was especially disgusted by Narathu"s treachery because Narathu used Panthagu in his scheme.
Shin Uttarajiva, a renowned Mon monk who had studied in Ceylon, was then the primate but Shin Panthagu was treated as the primate.
The elderly Shin Panthagu died soon after.
