Arakan from 1482 to 1492. He came to power by having his father King Ba Saw Phyu assassinated after his father had chosen another son as his heir apparent.[2] Dawlya proved an able king, however. Known as Hsinbyushin for possessing a white elephant,[1] the king "extended Mrauk-U control to the east and west".[3] He died on the war elephant after having returned from a failed expedition to the Chittagong Hill Tracts.[1]
