Slapat Rajawan Datow Smim Ron (lit. "History of Kings"), more commonly known as Bago Yazawin, is a Mon language chronicle that covers 17 dynasties from the legendary times to the Hanthawaddy period. Written by an ethnic Mon monk, the chronicle was a religion/legend-centric chronicle although it does cover secular history from Sri Ksetra and Pagan to Hanthawaddy periods. Like the Hmannan Yazawin chronicle of the same period, Slatpat too linked its kings to the Buddha and Buddhist mythology. It was translated into English by R. Halliday in the Journal of the Burma Research Society in 1923.
