Yathekyaung (Burmese: ရသေ့ကြောင်, pronounced [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.^{[Note 1]}

Notes

^ (Harvey 1925: 364) does not recognize Thamoddarit or Yathekyaung, kings added by Maha Yazawin to link the Pagan royal lineage to the kings of Sri Ksetra Kingdom.
