Though she was technically the young king's aunt—his father was her first cousin, Sanda Min Hla nonetheless made herself Saw E's chief queen. According to the chronicles, Saw E gave her respect as his aunt, and spent more time with concubines of the court. After a few months, the queen poisoned the young king, and placed her half-brother Binnya E Law, viceroy of Pegu, to the throne. (She again made herself the chief queen.)

The murder of Saw E greatly angered the king of Sukhothai as Saw E was a grandson of his. Sukhothai forces invaded but were defeated. From then on, Hanthawaddy threw off its nominal vassal status to Sukhothai.
