Mingun Sayadaw. The twenty-seven kings [viz., Mandh膩tu] after Mah膩sammata were his descendants.

M膩ndh膩ta can also be spelled as M膩ndh膩t膩, according to the Dulva (the Tibetan translation of the Vinaya of the Sarv膩stiv膩dins). These twenty-eight kings were of long lives of 补蝉补峁卥丑测别测测补 (补蝉补峁僰丑测别测补) years.
Mandh膩tu is known as Mandh膩tar according to the D墨pava峁兣沘 and the Mah膩va峁兣沘.
