Ko Thein Shin

Ko Thein Shin (Burmese: ကိုးသိန်းရှင်; lit. 'Lord of the Nine Conquer' or 'Lord of the 900,000') is a Burmese nat (deity) and the guardian spirit of the Kyaukse Nine Agricultural Districts. Before attaining godhood, he was the Saopha of Maw, and the brother of the queens Saw Mon Hla, Sao Aung, and Sao Nang. Ko Thein Shin's legend is sometimes conflated with that of Ko Myo Shin, another nat and the guardian spirit of the Bago Region. This has caused confusion in many scholarly accounts, with the two legends occasionally being merged.
