Tarabya (Burmese: တရဖျား, pronounced [təja̰pʰjá]; 1368–1401) was the third king of Ava. Tarabya was crown prince during his father King Swasawke's reign, and ascended to the throne in December 1400 (Natdaw, 762 ME).[1] But he was assassinated seven months into his rule by his one-time tutor, Nga Nauk Hsan, the governor of Tagaung. The ministers did not hand the throne to the usurper; they gave it to Minkhaung, Swasawke's son by a village maiden.[3]
One of his sons, Kale Kyetaungnyo, became the saopha (chief) of Kale in the Upper Chindwin region, and later king of Ava from 1426 and 1427.[4]
He entered the official pantheon of Burmese nats (spirits) as the Mintara nat.[5]
