^Depending on when she was born, her birth place was probably Talok, Yamethin or Amyint where her father Swa Saw Ke was governor during the late 1340s and the early 1350s. Chronicles (Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 280) and (Hmannan Vol. 2003: 403) say Swa defected to Sagaing during the reign of Tarabya II of Sagaing (r. 1349–52). According to a contemporary inscription (Than Tun 1959: 128), he was still governor of Talok at age 21 (22nd year). Therefore he likely became governor of Yamethin sometime between 24 July 1351 (Swa's 21st birthday) and 23 February 1352 (Tarabya II's death).
^The Yazawin Thit chronicle (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 206) says Princess Minkhaung Medaw, the third daughter of King Swa and Queen Khame Mi, was the mother of the Sithu brothers. However, the Hmannan Yazawin chronicle (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 436) says Princess Saw Salaka Dewi, the middle daughter, was the mother of the brothers. However, Hmannan's reporting is inconsistent: even though Hmannan says the royal couple had three daughters and two sons, it does not provide any information about the third daughter. The paragraph seems to be missing sentences.
