Wareru ((ビルマ語:ဝါရီရူး), ; 1253–1307) was the founder of the Ramanya Kingdom located in today's Lower Burma (Myanmar). The kingdom is more commonly known as Kingdom of Hanthawady Pegu (Bago), or simply Pegu although the kingdom's first capital was Martaban (Mottama). By using both diplomatic and military skills, the commoner of Shan and Mon descent successfully carved out a kingdom for the Mon people in Lower Burma following the collapse of the Pagan Empire in 1287. Wareru was nominally a vassal of his father-in-law Ram Khamhaeng of Sukhothai, and of the Mongols, and successfully repulsed attacks by the Three Shan Brothers of Myinsaing in 1287 and 1294. Wareru was assassinated by his grandsons in January 1307, and succeeded by his brother Hkun Law. The greatest achievements of his reign were his initiative to appoint a commission for the compilation of the Dhammathat, the earliest surviving law code of Burma;〔 and the founding of the Mon kingdom which would prosper for another two and a half centuries. ==Names== His Mon name was Magadu ((タイ語:มะกะโท), , (:mä˥.kä˩.tʰoː˧)), and the Shan title is recorded as Wa Row (IPA: ; (タイ語:วาโร), , (:wäː˧.roː˧)), from which came the name Wareru.〔South 2003: 69〕 His name is also recorded in Thai as Chao Farua (, "Lord Farua", (:t͡ɕäːw˥˩ fäː˥.ruːä˥˩)) or Phrachao Farua (พระเจ้าฟ้ารั่ว, "Holy Lord Farua", (:pʰrä˥.t͡ɕäːw˥˩ fäː˥.ruːä˥˩)).〔〔 Thai historical documents state that King Ram Khamhaeng granted him the name Farua, which literally means "heaven leaking", because he had great merits as if having leaked or descended from the heaven above.〔Chaophraya Phra Khlang (Hon), 2013: 28–30.〕〔''Prachum Phongsawadan...'', 1999: 186–187.〕 He was also recorded as a Shan Saopha, (IPA: ) that corresponds to the Thai title ''Chaofa'' (เจ้าฟ้า, "heavenly lord"). ''Sao'' and ''Chao'' both derive by different routes from Chinese ''master''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wareru」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
