Htilominlo (Burmese: ထီးလိုမင်းလို, pronounced [tʰílò mɪ́ɰ̃lò]; also called Nadaungmya or Zeya Theinkha Uzana; 1175 – 1235) was king of the Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1211 to 1235. His 24-year reign marked the beginning of the gradual decline of Pagan dynasty. It was the first to see the impact of over a century of continuous growth of tax-free religious wealth, which had greatly reduced the potential tax base. Htilominlo was the last of the temple builders although most of his temples were in remote lands outside the Pagan region, reflecting the deteriorating state of royal treasury.[2]

All the royal chronicles say he was succeeded by his son Kyaswa, but two contemporary inscriptions indicate that another son of his, Naratheinga Uzana, was at least acting as the regent towards the end of his reign.[3][4]
