at Tsha-be-tsha-kan, the prince prepared for battle. He gave his elephant 
three cups of spirit and drank some himself, then remarking to His wife 
that the cry of the sarus which he heard was a good omen, he went 
forth. In the battle which ensued, the prince received a mortal wound, 
and his army lied. It adz a dir it ordered that he should he buried with 
royal honours. The Burmese army now retired, and, on the retreat, the 
Prince’s wife Sheng-meng-hla was taken prisoner.- It is said that king 
Meng Khaung himself came down to Dala and was shown the spot where 
his son’s bones had been buried. He then had them put into a golden 
vase and sunk them at the mouth of the river. Again in the following 
year 776, (A. D. 1111) he came with an army, but though he defeated 
and took prisoner Binya Tsek, one of the king’s sons, the expedition failed, 
and he returned to Ava. This was the last invasion of Pegu during the 
reign of Badzadirit. Both nations were exhausted by the destructive wars 
they had waged. King Meng Khaung died live years later, and Badza¬ 
dirit devoted himself to religion and good works for the rest of his days. 
He opened communication with the king of Ceylon, whose daughter he 
married, and from whom he received a tooth relic which was enshrined in 
a pagoda 186 cubits high. He also repaired the Slrwe mau-dau pagoda, 
to which he gave a new hti. Though no longer active, he one day went 
out into the jungle to capture a wild elephant. When throwing the 
noose, he received a blow from the animal which broke his leg, and he 
died before he could be brought home. This was the end of Ba-dza-di-rit, 
in the year 783 (A. D. 1121).
