King
Keua Nah
(fig.), ruler of
Chiang Mai
from 1355 to
1385.
He reigned in a time of relative and long-lasting peace, of which he knew to
make productive use. He brought on the Golden Age of
Lan Na
in 1367 and introduced the Sinhalese
Langka
Wong Order in
Buddhism,
which was considered a purer and a more egalitarian form than the previously
introduced varieties from
Haripunchai,
Pegu
and
Ava.
