Kyawswa I of Pinya

Kyawswa I of Pinya (Burmese: ငါးစီးရှင် ကျော်စွာ, pronounced: [ŋázíʃɪ̀ɴ tɕɔ̀zwà]; lit. "Lord of Five White Elephants"; 1299–1350) was king of Pinya from 1344 to 1350. His six-year reign briefly restored unity in southern Upper Burma although his authority over his southernmost vassals remained largely nominal. He suddenly died in 1350, and came to be regarded as one of the major Burmese folk spirits, known as Nga-zi Shin Nat.
