Uzana (Burmese: ဥဇနာ, pronounced [ʔṵzənà]; c. 1216–1254) was the 50th king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1250 to 1254. Although his actual reign lasted only four years, Uzana was essentially the power behind the throne during his father Kyaswa's reign, 1234–1250. His father, a devout Buddhist and scholar, had given Uzana full royal authority to govern the kingdom to the business of governing the country.[2] However Uzana reportedly cared more about chasing elephants, and drinking liquor than governing during his father's or his reign. As king, he left the task of governing to his chief minister Yazathingyan. The king was accidentally killed at Dala (part of modern day Yangon) in 1254 while hunting elephants.[3]
