Gazapati (Burmese: ဂဇာပတိ, pronounced [ɡəzàpətḭ]; c. 1497–1515) was king of Arakan, a former state in Myanmar (Burma), from 1513 to 1515.
With his confidants running amok, the kingdom is said to have suffered a great economic crisis due to their mismanagement.
[3] During his reign, he received diplomats and qadis from the Bengal Sultanate, who built mosques as a gift to Gazapati in the Baungduk river port district of Mrauk U.
This created discontent within the court who saw it as eroding the Buddhist state religion and allowing missionaries into the capital.
[4] The young king is also said to be a womanizer, sleeping with wives of generals whom he had sent to the front at the Bengal border.
