@Hintha and Hybernator: Because Thamoddarit may not be a familiar name to most readers, would it be a good idea to mention that he was a founder of a dynasty in the hook, to add context? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:59, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5, Pagan and Pyu people added for additional context. (Thamoddarit, according to legend, was a Pyu royal from Sri Ksetra Kingdom who left for what is now central Myanmar, and founded Pagan (Bagan). The Taungtha claim they are of Pyu descent, not of Pagan (or Bamar/Burman) descent.) Hybernator (talk) 04:10, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, long enough, QPQ done. AGF on the sources. --evrik ^(talk) 04:45, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
