Works
editAmong the five Pyinzi princes of the Konbaung dynasty, those who showed the most interest in Mahāgīta were Maung Naga and Hteiktin Pu. Although they both composed Mahāgīta songs, no Mahagita books described clearly which songs were written by which Prince of Pyinzi.[2]
The famous Mahāgīta songs Hteiktin Pu composed were:
- Myan Char Mye Ko patpyoe (မြန်ချာမြေကို ပတ်ပျိုး)[5]
- Celebration song of Mandalay started with Mingalar Thiri Mye Myatswa (မင်္ဂလာသီရိမြေမြတ်စွာ အစချီ မန္တလေးမြို့ဘွဲ့)
- Taung Zambu Paing Thai-adapted song (တောင်ဇမ္ဗူပိုင် ယိုးဒယား)
- Wei Zayantar Nanbon Thai-adapted song (ဝေဇယန္တာနန်းဘုံ ယိုးဒယား).[6][1]
