The Thathanapaing was responsible for managing the monastic hierarchy and education at monasteries. The Thathanabaing resided in a royal monastery near the kingdom's capital.[1] However, appointees were usually commoners born in the villages, with no blood relationship with the royal house.[1] Their appointments were made on the basis of their mastery of Buddhist knowledge and literature.[1] EtymologyThathanabaing, literally 'Keeper of the Sāsana', is the native Burmese rendition of Sangharaja, or formally Mahasangharaja ({{my|မဟာသံဃာရာဇာ}}), which is typically rendered into English as 'Primate', 'Archbishop' or 'Supreme Patriarch.'{{sfn|Twomey|1904}} The term "Sangharaja" was popularly used from the 1300s to 1400s, but lost currency in subsequent centuries.[1] By the Konbaung dynasty, Thathanabaing and Thathanapyu (သာသနာပြု) were frequently used.[1]HistoryAccording to Burmese chronicles, the office of the Thathanabaing dates to the reign of Swa Saw Ke (1367-1400).[2] British historians recognize a lineage of primates during the Pagan Kingdom, beginning with the monk Shin Arahan.[3] Konbaung dynasty{{double image|right|Thudhamma Zayat.jpg|160|Pahtan Zayat.jpg|160|The election of the Thathanapaing in 1902 was held at the Thudhamma and Pahtan Zayats near Mandalay Hill.}}The office, in its last incarnation, was established by King Bodawpaya in 1784, after the constitution of the Sudhamma Council, a council of four elder monks (thera), of which the Thathanabaing was its head.{{sfn|James|2005|p=81-84}} Subsequent monarchs expanded the Council, which varied from 8 to 12 members called sadaw.{{sfn|James|2005|p=81-84}}{{sfn|Scott|1900|p=3}} Council members were appointed by the king and styled Dazeitya Sayadaw ({{my|တံဆိပ်ရဆရာတော်}}, 'Teachers Possessing the Seal').{{sfn|Scott|1900|p=3}} The Thathanabaing was appointed by the king and granted supreme authority with regard to religious doctrine and ecclesiastical administration.{{sfn|Scott|1900|p=3}} The Thathanapaing was responsible for the kingdom's religious affairs, including appointment of monastery abbots, monk orders according to the Vinaya, management of breaches of discipline, preparation of an annual report of the order, and administration of Pali examinations.{{sfn|James|2005|p=81-84}} The Thathanabaing was charged with managing the functions of two government officials, the Mahadan Wun ({{my|မဟာဒါန်ဝန်}}, Ecclesiastical Censor), who oversaw the king's charitable functions, ensured monk compliance with the Vinaya, and submitted registers of all active novices and monks, and the Wutmye Wun ({{my|ဝတ်မြေဝန်}}), who managed the wuttukan-designated religious properties ({{my|ဝတ္ထုကံမြေ}}), including donated land and pagodas.{{sfn|Scott|1900|p=4}}{{sfn|Scott|1900|p=6}} The Burmese kingdom was divided into ecclesiastical jurisdictions, each of which was overseen by a gaing-gyok.
