Yun Bayin

Yun Bayin

Yun Bayin (Burmese: ယွန်းဘုရင်, pronounced: [jʊ́ɴ bəjɪ̀ɴ]; lit. King of the Yun) is one of the 37 nats in the official pantheon of Burmese nats. He was Mekuti, the captive king of Lanna Kingdom, who died of illness during the reign of King Bayinnaung of Toungoo (1551–1581). He is portrayed sitting with right knee raised, right hand holding a sheathed sword across the shoulder, and left hand on left knee.[1][2][3]

Bayinnaung captured Chiang Mai during the Burmese-Siam War of 1563. Mae Ku then became a tributary king.[4]:29
