Sanay Min (Burmese: စနေမင်း, pronounced [sənè mɪ́ɰ̃]; lit. "Saturday King"; c. 1 April 1673 – 22 August [O.S. 11 August] 1714) was the 13th king of Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) who reigned from 1698 to 1714. Sanay ascended to throne after his father Minye Kyawhtin died in 1698. Sanay was - like his father - ineffectual, and the power of Toungoo dynasty continued to decline.^[4]

Early life

Sanay Min was born to King Minye Kyawhtin and his queen Sanda Dewi (née Khin Ma Shwe San Oo) c. April 1673. He was given Dabayin in fief, and was known as Debayin Mintha in his youth. He was made heir apparent on 8 September 1688 (Wednesday, 14th waxing of Tawthalin 1050 ME).^[5]

Notes

^ (Zata 1960: 48): He was born on a Saturday in Late Tagu of 1034 ME (18 March to 10 April 1673). It means he was born on one of the following Saturdays: 18 March, 25 March, 1 April or 8 April 1673
^ (Hmannan Vol. 3 2003: 353): Wednesday, 14th waxing of Tawthalin 1076 = 22 August [O.S. 11 August] 1714
