Yathekyaung (Burmese: ရသေ့ကြောင်, in Burmese pronounced as /jəθe̯ dʑàʊɰ̃/; also spelled Rathekyaung) was a semi-legendary king of Pagan Dynasty of Burma (Myanmar). According to 18th and 19th century Burmese chronicles Maha Yazawin and Hmannan Yazawin he was a monk and the tutor of Pyusawhti, who put him on the throne.[1] He is not accepted as a king by some modern historians.[2]
