Naratheinkha (Burmese: နရသိင်္ခ, pronounced [nəɹa̰ θéiɴkʰa̰]; c. 1136?–1173) was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1170 to 1173. When Naratheinkha succeeded his father Narathu, the new king was greeted with multiple rebellions by the Kudus in the Tagaung region in the north and the Mons of Tenasserim coast in the south. The new king failed to deal effectively with rebellions, and appointed his younger brother Narapatisithu as the heir apparent and commander-in-chief. The king was killed by Aungzwa, one of Narapatisithu's servants on after the king tried to take one of Narapatisithu's queens as his.^[3][4]
