Sanay Min (Burmese: စနေမင်း, pronounced [sənè mɪ́ɰ̃]; lit. "Saturday King"; c. 1 April 1673 – 22 August [O.S. 11 August] 1714) was the 13th king of Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) who reigned from 1698 to 1714. Sanay ascended to throne after his father Minye Kyawhtin died in 1698. Sanay was - like his father - ineffectual, and the power of Toungoo dynasty continued to decline.[4]
