Kyawswa II of Pinya

Kyawswa II (1328–1359), Lord of the Four White Elephants after inheriting the animals from his father, was king of Pinya from December 1350. A younger son, he had been made heir over his elder brother Uzana, whose legs were paralysed. His authority scarcely reached beyond the Kyaukse granary; Prome and Toungoo were nearly independent.

Pressure from the north shaped his reign. Mong Mao, whose ruler Tho Kho Bwa had defeated three Mongol expeditions, was turning on Sagaing, and in 1351 Kyawswa accepted a truce proposed by envoys from Sagaing.

In 1358–59 Toungoo raided Kyaukse while Maw Shans broke through Sagaing's territory into Pinya. Kyawswa died in March 1359 during the raids, childless, and his brother Narathu succeeded him. A week earlier, on 12 March, he had issued a decree ordering checks on tax-free religious lands, Burma's earliest recorded land survey.
