Neak Panalay

Neak Panalay (15 June 973-28 January 1038), born Ashiya, also known as Queen Tabinshirindra, was the Queen consort of King Bohu II of the Kiangnu dynasty of Jasume. Her daughter Sri Manmelay was the Queen consort of King Mansaw, Bohu II's younger brother.

Life
She was from a southern family of Jasume, in a Buddhism family. Her father Naya Pamisandranatee was a local official, and mother Chao Supharkhanayothai was Bohu II's wet nurse. She grew up with Bohu II, which was why she married the king later.

She was the fourth wife of Bohu II, marrying in 989 after Princess Chao Satuyama Sri, Phongmathewee, and Pirikilee Yanon Karajin. She gave birth to a daughter, Princess Sri Manmelay, in 991. In 1001, when her husband became the king, she surpassed Bohu II's other consorts, crowned Queen consort. She converted to Mahaism to become the queen, but it was believed that she was still a buddhist secretly.

Bohu II died in a hunting with his brothers, Heyun, Mansaw and Tychen, in 1004. There were rumors that the king was murdered by his brothers. Heyun became the new king. To avoid potential dangers, Neak Panalay with other Bohu II's consorts sought Queen mother Pinthinah's protection. The former queen was appointed the chief lady-in-waiting of the queen mother. In 1009, her daughter Sri Manmelay married new king Mansaw, but she can do nothing.

King Heyun was deposed and executed by his brother Mansaw in 1009. Mansaw was a cruel and tyrannical ruler, so Neak Panalay felt she couldn't stay in the court still, or she'd suffer persecutions from Mansaw just like Nanphinakok Golthawathy and Sri Sumacha, Heyun's consorts, who were exiled by Mansaw. Neak Panalay left to her hometown and lived there until her death.

She passed away in 1038, during King Tychen's tenure, at the age of 64. Her posthumous title was Tabinshirindra. Her tomb was in Konshin, adjacent to her husband.

Issue
Princess Sri Manmelay, born in 991, was the Queen consort of her uncle King Mansaw of Jasume.
