c12.62

Whether this order was actually carried into effect is not clear, but the result of it was to exasperate the nobles beyond endurance. Overtures were made to Sutyinphā, who agreed, though very reluctantly, to supersede his brother.

Owing to his deposition, he is generally known as the Bhagā Raja.
