Saw Lu (Burmese: စောလူး [sɔ́ lú]; also spelled Sawlu; also known as Min Lulin (မင်းလုလင် [mɪ́ɰ̃ lṵlɪ̀ɰ̃]), lit. 'Boy King'; 19 April 1049 – c. 21 April 1084) was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1077 to 1084. He inherited from his father Anawrahta the Pagan Empire, the first ever unified kingdom of Burma (Myanmar) but proved an inexperienced ruler. In 1082, he faced a rebellion in Lower Burma, and was captured c. April 1083. He was later killed in captivity about a year later.
