Einda Thiri (Burmese: ဣန္ဒသီရိ, pronounced [ʔèiɴda̰ θìɹḭ]; Pali: Indasīri; also known as Saw Hla Htut, Burmese: စောလှထွတ်) was a daughter of King Mohnyin Thado of Ava, and governor of Pagan. The princess was the first known female ruler of the Pagan (Bagan) capital region. Her tenure at the ancient capital city of Pagan (Bagan) probably began c. 1433. Chronicles do not say when her tenure at Pagan ended.

Notes

  1. (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 282) only says she was governor in her father's reign (1426–1439) without providing when exactly she was appointed. But based chronicle reporting elsewhere, she may have succeeded c. 1433/34. (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 278) and (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 69–70) say Thado appointed her predecessor Tarabya's son governor of Amyint with his father's title in early 1434. This means Tarabya the elder may have died by then.
