The Story of the King Salu

After the death of the great king Anarata, his sons Salu took the throne at the age of 26. Although not particularly young by the standards of royalty, he would soon gain the title Min Lulin on account of his inexperienced and naive style of ruling. After only five years of mismanaging the kingdom, he faced a rebellion in the south among the mon people. He turned to someone that his father had long ago exiled, for the crime of falling in love with a woman promised to him. That is his half-brother, the romantic hero of songs and poetry, Kian Sittha.
