Kumara Kassapa or Kumara Kathapa (Burmese: ကုမာရ ကဿပ, pronounced [kṵməɹa̰ kaʔθəpa̰]) was the Mongol-installed King of Pagan, who reigned for ten weeks in 1301. The second son of King Kyawswa of Pagan sought Mongol intervention after his father was overthrown by the Myinsaing brothers in 1297. Declared the rightful king of Burma by Emperor Temür Khan in 1300, Kumara Kassapa returned to Pagan (Bagan) with a Mongol invasion force in 1301, only to retreat after the Mongol general staff accepted a bribe.^[1]^: 211
