Notes[edit]
- ^ Chronicles have no record of hers or any other female children of Nanda. Her elder brother Mingyi Swa, the third child of her parents, was born on 27 November 1558 (Sunday, 2nd waning of Nadaw 920 ME) per (Ohn Shwe 1966: xxviii). Her younger brother Minye Kyawswa II of Ava, the sixth child, was born in November 1567 (Nadaw 929 ME) per (Zata 1960: 47). It means she was born sometime between late 1559 and 1565. Moreover, because her father was away on various military campaigns between February 1563 and August 1565, she and her younger sister Khin Pu were likely born in the early 1560s.
