Thanbula (Burmese: သမ္ဘူလ, pronounced: [θàɴbùla̰]; also spelled Thambula) was one of the chief queens of King Kyansittha of Pagan Dynasty of Burma (Myanmar). She met Kyansittha while he was in exile at Kyaungbyu, and later gave birth to Yazakumar. Kyansittha went back to Bagan (Pagan), and later became king. She found out about it only years later, and showed up at the palace gate with their son. By then Kyansittha, thinking he did not have a male heir, had already anointed his grandson Alaungsithu the heir apparent. Kyansittha made her his fourth queen with the title U-Hsaukpan and Yazakumar the titular lord of North Arakan and Seven Hill Tracts.[1]
