Seindon Mibaya (Burmese: စိန်တုံးမိဖုရား; 1840 – 15 May 1905), known by her royal title, Thiri Pobba Yadana Dewi (Pali: Siripubbāratanadevī), was a senior queen consort of King Mindon during the Konbaung dynasty. Being a cousin of King Mindon, she was promoted to a Nanzwe Mibaya[note 1] and received the appanage of Seindon[note 2] when he ascended the throne.
Life
[edit]Seindon Mibaya was born as Shin Thet in 1840 to parents Le-u Bo U Sai and Arla Kappa Myosa, the sister of King Mindon's mother, Chandra Mata Mahe. She has one younger sibling, Prince Tapal. She is also a cousin of King Mindon. She was granted the appanages of Sale and Ta Lok Myo. She did not bear any issue.
In 1878, she was imprisoned for failing to provide a list of the gold, silver, and royal gifts given by King Mindon after his deification.[1] After the passing of King Mindon, to avoid the beset caused by Queen Hsinbyumashin faction in Upper Burma, she took refuge in Moulmein (now Mawlamyine), then British owned Lower Burma.[2] There, she established the Yadanabonmyint Monastery (ရတနာဘုံမြင့်ကျောင်း).[2] Later, she joined the Buddhist order of nun in Moulmein before she died on 15 May 1905.[3]
