Min Kyawzwa
Min Kyawzwa (
Ava, who fell in action in the Forty Years' War.[1] Yet another version puts him as a son of the Lord of Pyay and Kuni Devi. He reportedly was a "drunkard and cock fighter and also a good rider", killed by his victims turned devils.[2]
Ma Ngwe Taung, another nat, was seduced by Min Kyawzwa when they were both humans and abandoned by him.[3] She pined for him so much that her brother, who did not approve of Min Kyawzwa, became angry and pushed her off a cliff.[3] She helps women abandoned by husbands or lovers.[3]
Min Kyawzwa is the guardian of drunkards and gamblers, and grants wealth to those he favours.
