Saw Lu ({{lang-my|စောလူး}} {{IPA-my|sɔ́ lú|}}; also spelled Sawlu; also known as Min Lulin ({{my|မင်းလုလင်}} {{IPA-my|mɪ́ɴ lṵlɪ̀ɴ|}}), lit. Boy King; 19 April 1049 – {{circa}} 21 April 1084) was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1077 to 1084. He inherited from his father Anawrahta the Pagan Empire, the first ever unified kingdom of Burma (Myanmar) but proved an inexperienced ruler. In 1082, he faced a rebellion in Lower Burma, and was captured c. April 1083. He was later killed in captivity about a year later.

Early life

Saw Lu was born to King Anawrahta and Queen Agga Mahethi, Queen of the Southern Palace.[2] The Burmese chronicles do not agree on the dates regarding his life and reign. The table below lists the dates given by the four main chronicles,[3] and scholarship.[2]

SourceBirth–DeathAgeReignLength of reign
Zatadawbon Yazawin (List of Monarchs Section)[4] 1050–1084 34 1077–1084 7
Zatadawbon Yazawin (Royal Horoscopes Section)[5] 1049–1084 34 1077–1084 7
Maha Yazawin 1006–1061 55 1035–1061[6] 26
Yazawin Thit 1010–1065 54 February 1060–1065 5
Hmannan Yazawin 1020–1065 45 1060–1065 5
Scholarship 19 April 1049[7]–before 21 April 1084[8] 34 11 April 1077–before 21 April 1084 7[7]

Moreover, the chronicles do not agree whether or not Saw Lu was older than Kyansittha, Anawrahta's other son. According to early chronicles, Kyansittha was older (20 years per Zata) and (two years per Maha Yazawin). However, later chronicles Yazawin Thit and Hmannan say Saw Lu was older by about one and two years, respectively.

At any rate, Anawrahta made Saw Lu the heir presumptive even though Anawrahta already had a son, Kyansittha by a minor queen whom he had discarded. Saw Lu was brought up by a Mon lady of noble birth. He grew up with the wet nurse's son Yamankan, who became a close friend of his.[9] Saw Lu was not interested in running the kingdom, and never participated in any of his father's military campaigns. He viewed Kyansittha, his half-brother and general in the Pagan army who was extremely popular with the people, with suspicion.

Reign

Saw Lu ascended to the Pagan throne on 11 April 1077 after his father Anawrahta had died under mysterious circumstances. When he became king, he married his father's Mon queen Manisanda (Khin U) and made her the chief queen.[10] His regnal title was Śrīvájrabharaṇatribupati ({{my|ၐြီဝဇြာဗရဏ တြိဘုပတိ}}).[11]

To run the Mon-speaking territories in the south, he appointed his trusted childhood friend Yamankan, an ethnic Mon. To administer the upcountry, Saw Lu, at the urging of Primate Shin Arahan, reluctantly brought back Kyansittha, who had been sent to exile by Anawrahta for his affair with Manisanda. However, Saw Lu soon had to banish Kyansittha again (this time to Dala near Yangon) because the latter renewed his affair with Manisanda.[12][13]

Mon rebellion

As governor of Pegu, Yamankan continued to visit Saw Lu at Pagan.[14] Knowing the inexperience of his childhood friend well, Yamankan decided to rebel. The chronicles describe the final breach between Saw Lu and Yamankan in a dramatic way. The two were playing a game of dice, and Yamankan won. As Yamankan romped about in joy at his victory, Saw Lu taunted him, "If you are so clever, why don't you rebel against me?"[9]

Yamankan went back to Pegu, and revolted. In late 1082, he sailed up the Irrawaddy river with his army, and took a position on an island a few miles below Pagan. Saw Lu recalled Kyansittha from exile, and gave him the command of Pagan army. They marched south and halted near Myingun (near Magwe). Yamankan's army was stationed at Thayet. Saw Lu was impatient and against Kyansittha's warning, attacked. But Yamankan had expected such an attack and prepared his positions well. Saw Lu's army was routed and the king was taken prisoner.[9] According to the chronicle Zatadawbon Yazawin, the battle between Saw Lu and Yamankan took place in November 1082.[15]

Death

Kyansittha tried to rescue but Saw Lu refused to be rescued. His last fatal miscalculation that Kyansittha would kill him to get the throne but his friend Yamankan would not. He was killed by Yamankan to prevent the further rescue attempts. According to scholarship, he likely died c. April 1084 before 21 April 1084.[8] Yamankan himself was ambushed by the sniper bow-shot of Nga Sin the hunter and died. Later Kyansittha became the third king of the Pagan Empire.

According to Zatadawbon Yazawin, Kyansittha and Yamankan fought a battle c. April 1083 (Kason of 445 ME).[16] The battle may not be the final battle in which Yamankan was slain since Zata says Saw Lu died in 1084 after having reigned seven years. However, other chronicles (Hmannan and Yazawin Thit) say he reigned only for five years, followed by an interregnum that lasted till 1084—implying that the king died in 1083.[3]

Saw Lu was so incompetent that it says much for the genius of the father that his kingdom survived the test.[17]

14. ^(Htin Aung 1967: 38): the name Yamankan (literally, Blind Mon) was not the governor's true name. It was an insulting posthumous name given by the chroniclers. His true name is lost to history.
15. ^(Zata 1960: 83): 9th month (Natdaw) of 444 ME = 23 October 1082 to 20 November 1082.
16. ^(Zata 1960: 84): The battle took place in Kason 445 ME ( 21 March 1083 to 19 April 1083). But since the new year's day of 445 ME fell on 26 March 1083 (6th waxing of Kason 445), Kason 445 only began on 6th waxing of Kason. Thus, the battle took place between 26 March and 19 April 1083.
