Ba Saw Nyo (Burmese: ဘစောညို, pronounced [ba̰ sɔ́ ɲò]; 1435–1494) was king of Arakan from 1492 to 1494. The king is known for erecting a small stupa called Radanar Hmankin in 1492. The king was also referred to as Muhammad Shah by the neighbouring Bengal.
Reign
Ba Saw Nyo came to power in 1492 after his nephew King Dawlya had died after a failed military expedition. He made Dawlya's mother and his sister-in-law Saw Nandi his chief queen.[1] He faced a serious mutiny by an officer, which was put down.
Death
Ba Saw Nyo died later in case of assassination by a rebellious soldier named Nga-Swe, whose limbs and legs were cut off and send off with a raft.[3]
