MtjNGjANi ruled only twenty-eight days, when he either died of disease, 

 or was put to death by*his minister Nara Baddigiri, who held the sovereign- 

 ty during the year IOO7, and was succeeded by his son Sadu Thyn, who 

 governed till the year 1022, and was succeeded by Chanda Thao Chyn. It 

 was in this reign that St^ja, the brother of Aurangzeb, sought refuo-e in 

 Aracan, and was kindly received by the Raja, who supported him and his fol- 

 lowers for five years. Notwithstanding the Raja's hospitality and kindness, 

 SiSfjA was not content, and actually set up a faction in the- kingdom ; he re- 

 paired to the hills of the Kaladi/ne, and having been joined by many malcon- 

 tents, set the Raja at defiance : in 1043, a battle took place between the 

 Raja and the Moghul Chief, in which the former was not only worsted, but 

 obliged to give up his claim to Chittagong and TipperOt so long held by his 

 predecessors. 



In 1047, St^Ri Lao Thyn, the second son of the former Raja, ascended the 

 throne, but being a man of no ability, through his imbecility the whole king- 

 dom fell into disorder : he, however, shortly after died, and was succeeded by 

 his son "Wara Thyn, who ruled till the year 1054 : this Prince, however, did 

 not in any way ameliorate the condition of his subjects : his immediate suc- 

 cessors and descendants, Mani Shao and Sad^ Wong, held the reins of 

 government till the year 1058, when, on the death of the latter, Tadong, a 

 Wazir, became Raja, but he was deposed the following year by a Chief, 

 named Moraopi, who only held the rule for eight months, having been de- 

 posed by a Chief, named Kala Mayta, who, in 1062, was expelled by Narati 

 Po, and he again by Keojang, who ruled till IO68, when he was deposed
