Sale Ngahkwe (Burmese: စလေငခွေး, pronounced [sàlè ŋəkʰwé]; c. 875–934) was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from c. 904 to c. 934. According to the Burmese chronicles, Ngahkwe, a descendant of King Thingayaza of Pagan but brought up in obscurity at Sale in central Burma, came to work in the service of King Tannet as a stable groom. Ngahkwe then assassinated the king and seized the throne.[1]
Various Burmese chronicles do not agree on the dates regarding his life and reign.[2] The oldest chronicle Zatadawbon Yazawin is considered to be the most accurate for the Pagan period.[note 1] The table below lists the dates given by four main chronicles, as well as Hmannan's dates when anchored by the Anawrahta's inscriptionally verified accession date of 1044.
Chronicles | Birth–Death | Age | Reign | Length of reign |
---|---|---|---|---|
Zatadawbon Yazawin | 875–934 | 59 | 904–934 | 30 |
Maha Yazawin | 847–901 | 54 | 876–901 | 25 |
Yazawin Thit and Hmannan Yazawin | 857–915 | 58 | 906–915 | 9 |
Hmannan adjusted | 885–943 | 58 | 934–943 | 9 |

(Aung-Thwin 2005: 121–123): In general, Zata is considered "the most accurate of all Burmese chronicles, particularly with regard to the best-known Pagan and Ava kings, many of whose dates have been corroborated by epigraphy."
