The Venerable Shin Uttarajīva (Burmese: ရှင်ဥတ္တရဇီဝ [ʃɪ̀ɰ̃ ʔoʊʔtəɹa̰ zìwa̰]; died c. 5 October 1191) was Primate of Pagan Kingdom during the reigns of three kings Narathu, Naratheinkha and Narapatisithu from 1167 to 1191. The Theravada Buddhist monk presided over the realignment of Burmese Buddhism with the Mahavihara school of Ceylon, away from the Conjeveram-Thaton school of Shin Arahan.[3]
