Kyanzittha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Kyanzittha (Burmese: က္ရမ္းစစ္သား; MLCTS: kram. sac sa:; IPA: [tʃánziʔθá]) was king of Bagan from 1084 to 1113. He was a son of King Anawrahta and a lesser queen, and is well-known for building a large number of temples and religious monuments in Bagan, particularly the Ananda Temple. During his youth, Kyanzittha participated in the Thaton campaign to obtain the Tripitaka from Mon Kingdom. He was crowned king after the assassination of King Sawlu, another son of King Anawrahta. Kyanzittha was particularly known for his patronage of the Mon culture; during his reign, he left many inscriptions in Mon, married a Mon princess, and established good relations with the Mon kingdom.
