Maha Dhammaraza Dipati (Burmese: မဟာ ဓမ္မရာဇာ ဓိပတိ, pronounced [məhà dəma̰jàzà dḭpədḭ]; Pali: Mahā Dhammarājādhipati; 1714–1754), also called the Thursday King (ကြာသပတေးမင်း), Hanthah-wədee-pah-min (ဟံသာဝတီပါမင်း, "Captive to Hanthawaddy") or Lokasaraphū-dāyakā (လောကသရဖူဒါယကာမင်း, "Patron of Lokasaraphu pagoda"), was the last king of restored Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1733 to 1752. The young king inherited a kingdom already in severe decline, and his inexperience only made the decline faster, finally resulting in the end of House of Toungoo and the collapse of the kingdom over his 18-year reign.
