By junior queens

The following is a list of his children by junior queens. The list is ordered by the mother of the children, and then by the age of the children per the Hmannan Yazawin chronicle. Note that although both Maha Yazawin and Hmannan chronicles say that he had 35 sons and 56 daughters by junior queens and concubines, the detailed list, which appears only in Hmannan, enumerates only 86 children. The rest of the children are mentioned in the various parts of the chronicles. The grand total comes to at least 92 different names which consisted of 33 sons and 59 daughters. The discrepancy may be due to recording errors in the sex and/or number of the unnamed children who died young.
