Notes

  1. Chronicles (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 403) say that he was appointed governor in 704 ME (29 March 1342 to 28 March 1343) by King Uzana I of Pinya. But the Arakanese chronicle Rakhine Razawin Thit (Sandamala Linkara Vol. 1 1999: 181) says the family of Min Shin Saw left Launggyet for Pinya in 705 ME (29 March 1343 to 28 March 1344). According to a contemporary inscription, (Than Tun 1959: 124), Kyawswa I of Pinya took over the kingdom from then regent Sithu, also viceroy of Myinsaing.
  2. Chronicles do not explicitly say when he died. (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 429) lists Thray Sithu, governor of Myinsaing, in the 1390−91 dry season campaign in the Forty Years' War. This means Shwe Nan Shin had most probably died by November 1390.
