Thu Pabawadi (Template:Lang-my, 1861 – 1915), commonly known as Pyinzi Princess or Pyinzi Supaya, was a high-rank royal princess during the late Konbaung dynasty.[1]

Life

Pyinzi Supaya at age of 25

Pyinzi Supaya was born to King Mindon and his consort Magway Mibaya in 1861 at the Mandalay royal palace. No sooner was she born than her father awarded her the appanage of Taungdwingyaung. When Thado Minye, Prince of Pyinzi, was killed in the Myingun Myinkhondaing rebellion, she received the appanage of Pyinzi, and since then she was known as Pyinzi Princess.[2]

When her sister, Mingin Supaya, was accused in 1883, their family and their servants were donated as slaves to Man Aung Yadana Wakhingone Pagoda. Later, because of venerable Sayadaws' request, Supayalat let them free. But they were under house arrest until 1885's abdication of King Thibaw.[3] Although they were not preferred by Supayalat, Pyinzi Supaya forgave all and went to the ear-boring ceremony of King Thibaw and Queen Supayalat in 1910.

Pyinzi Supaya died on 18 May 1915 at the age of 54 and was buried at the Mandalay Palace enclosure (see Konbaung tombs).

Privilege

Because her mother was noble, she received the title of Supaya.[4]

She was the one who could accompany beside Setkya Dewi whenever she went around the palace with the royal palanquin. She was one of the 11 princesses who had the right to wear Ghanamattaka clothes during King Mindon's reign.

At the Rajabiseka Muddha consecration of her father in 1874, Pyinzi Supaya, wearing Ghanamattaka clothes, together with other seven sisters, was honored to make a libation on the king's head and to address royal valuable speeches.

Issues

Pyinzi Supaya married U Pe and gave birth to Pyinzi Thameedawgyi, Pyinzi Thameedawlat, and Pyinzi Kodawle. Pyinzi Kodawle died at a young age. The British government supported 15 Rupees for the two daughters' education.
