Source-derived summary

Thiri Tilawka Mahabhata Thu Ratana Devi (Burmese: သီရိတိလောက မဟာဘတ္တာသုရတနာဒေဝီ; Pali: Sīritiloka Mahābhattā Suratanādevī), commonly known as the Princess of Myedu (Burmese: မြေဒူးမင်းသမီး) was a royal princess of Ava during the Konbaung dynasty of Burma. She was the youngest daughter of King Bodawpaya and Chief Queen Me Lun Me (မယ်လွန်းမယ်). She was granted the appanages of Myedu.

She married her half brother, Prince of Pyay. Her given name was Ma Ohnn, and her regal title was Sīritiloka Mahābhattā Suratanādevī.

Biography

King Bodawpaya and Chief Queen had three daughters:

Princess of Kanni (Amigyi) Sri mahāratanā devī,

Princess of Taungdwingyi (Ma Kay) Sri mahātilokaratanā devī,

Princess of Myaydoo (Ma Ohnn) Sri tilokamahābhattāratnā devī.

Her husband, Prince of Pyay, was the youngest among two sons of King Bodawpaya and Shin Lunthu (ရှင်လွန်းသူ), Queen of the Northern Palace. His eldest brother was Crown Prince of Shwedaung (အိမ်ရှေ့စံ ရွှေတောင်မင်းသား). Prince of Pyay and Princess of Myaydoo had a daughter called Hsinbyume who was the first consort of the crown-prince-to-be Prince of Sagaing, who later became King Bagyidaw.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Princess Myedu” as princess of Myedu. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 171-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Princess, Myedu and princess can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as princess of Myedu. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q97959757.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
