4. (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 282) only says she was governor in her father's reign (1426–1439) without providing when exactly she was appointed. But based chronicle reporting elsewhere, she may have succeeded . (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 278) and (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 69–70) say Thado appointed her predecessor Tarabya's son governor of Amyint with his father's title in early 1434. This means Tarabya the elder may have died by then.
