Nine Brāhmans whom the king obtained from Benares frequently assisted him with advice, and with their help the Maungdaung *sayadaw* (abbot) translated into Burmese various Sanskrit works on astrology, medicine, grammar, etc., known as *Vyākarana*. Letwethondara, whom the king exiled to Meza hill, Katha district, earned his recall by writing a poem, the well-known *Mezataungche*; in a subsequent reign he became one of the judges in the king's court nor did he die till the second decade of the next century.
