Saw Hnit (Burmese: စောနှစ်, pronounced [sɔ́ n̥ɪʔ]; also spelled စောနစ်, [sɔ́ nɪʔ], Saw Nit or Min Lulin; 1283–1325) was a viceroy of Pagan (Bagan) from 1297 to 1325 under the suzerain of Myinsaing Kingdom in central Burma (Myanmar).
Saw Hnit succeeded as "king" after his father was forced to abdicate the throne by the three brothers of Myinsaing in December 1297.
[6] The brothers put him on the throne, officially styled as the king of Pagan, but essentially their viceroy.
[7] His authority amounted to the region around the Pagan city.
[7] King Swa Saw Ke of Ava (r. 1367–1400) was a grandnephew of Saw Hnit.
