Saw Maha-Rit

[6] His personal name was Bauk Kan Baru (ဗောက်ကန်ဗရူး), and he had one younger brother Baw Chi (ဘောချီ), who later became governor of Lagunbyi with the titles of Byattaba and Einkama.

[7] By 1401, he himself was married to his second cousin Princess Tala Mi Kyaw, one of Razadarit's daughters, and was now known by the title, Saw Maha-Rit.

[8] Maha-Rit is best remembered in Burmese history for his failed siege of Prome (Pyay) during the first dry season of the Second Ava–Hanthawaddy War.

Razadarit, who had blockaded the royal capital of Ava (Inwa) with his naval armada, had begun an orderly withdrawal down the Irrawaddy river.

The news of the fall of Khaunglaunggya, and the loss of the princess reached Razadarit only a few days later when the king was still directing a raid of Sale, some 300 km north of Prome.

[3][4] Throughout the journey, according to the Razadarit Ayedawbon chronicle, the king was "burning with anger" for Maha-Rit fleeing the scene, and leaving his daughter behind, and responded little to his staff, as though he had "poison in his mouth".
