Kyaswa was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma from 1235 to 1251. Kyaswa succeeded his father Htilominlo and was even more devout. Kyaswas reign like his fathers was largely peaceful but the depletion of the royal treasury due to large taxfree religious landholdings became more pronounced. The royal treasury was so depleted that Kyaswa had trouble completing a temple. The empire founded by Anawrahta over two centuries earlier was still peaceful but already on its last legs, unprepared for the internal disorders and external forces that were to come.
Kyaswa was born to Prince Zeya Theinkha and his wife Eindawthe. An inscription donated by his maternal aunt states that Kyaswa was born on Monday,May 1198 atoclock in the morning. The date is two weeks later thanApril 1198, given by the Zatadawbon Yazawin chronicle.
