Original pictures given in download
UKT: So far (080926), I have not been able to get the book by R. C. Temple. The nearest I could get was by W. Klein, Burma, Apa Productions (HK) Ltd, 1981, p88 (L-page) and p89 (R-page). I can't remember when I downloaded the pictures (most probably in 2002), and I can't remember if there were legends to go with the pictures. When I looked into what I had downloaded, I found two remarks I had made then:
• The following figures were from Klein, W, Burma, Apa Productions (HK) Ltd, 1981, p88 (L-page) and p89 (R-page). The legend given by Klein:
"The 37 nats have changed their identities through the ages, but their number has remained constant. The nats represented in this collage, taken from Sir R.C. Temple's classic work, the 37 Nats (London, 1906), may not be the same 37 as Burmese worship today."• The description of the images by U Po Kya [in Burmese-Myanmar] generally agreed with that of R. C. Temple.
I had to rely on the descriptions given by U Po Kya until I came across the Wikipedia article of 080926. The names given in Romabama are mine based on Wikipedia names. The serial numbers of U Po Kya and Dr. Htin Aung have been made the same for ease of comparison and reference.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_ (spirit) 080926
King Anawrahta of Bagan (1044-1077) designated an official pantheon of 37 Nats, after he had failed to enforce a ban on nat worship. His stratagem of incorporation by bringing the nats to his Shwezigon Pagoda in positions of worshipping the Buddha, and by enlisting Thagya Min at the head of the pantheon above the Mahagiri nats, eventually succeeded.[5][7] Seven out of the 37 Nats appear to be directly associated with the life and times of Anawrahta.[7] The official pantheon is made up predominantly of those from the royal houses of Burmese history, but also contains nats of Thai (Yun Bayin) and Shan (Maung Po Tu) descent. Listed in proper order as follows. [UKT - Transcription of Burmese-Myanmar names are from Wikipedia. I have transliterated these names in Romabama.]
R>Wikipedia: {thi.kra: ming:} - Considered King of the Nats, is identified with the
Buddhist
deva Śakra
and the Hindu
deity Indra.[8].
He is often portrayed atop a three-headed
white elephant, holding a
conch shell in one hand, and a yak-tail whisk in the other.[8]

Dr. Htin Aung 01. Thagyamin (the King of the Gods)
U Po Kya 01. {thi.kra:ming:}
<LWikipedia: {ming: ma.ha.gi.ri.} - Son of a famous blacksmith, U Tint Daw. His given name
was Maung Tint De (Nga Tinde) or Mr Handsome. He was extremely strong, able to
break the tusks of an elephant. The King of Tagaung was worried, least he
attempt to usurp his throne, so Maung Tint De hid himself in a village. As a
stratagem, the king married Maung Tint De's sister, Saw Me Ya, also called Myat
Hla or Shwe Myet-hna (Golden Face), to become one of his queens. He persuaded
Saw Me Ya to ask her brother to come out of hiding so that he could be given a
high office. However when Maung Tint De came out of hiding, the king had him
arrested and burned alive tied to a
Champac (sagawabin) tree.[8][9]
His sister (see below) also died with him and the two became evil Nats resident
in that tree, periodically feasting on people who happened to come near the
tree. The King of Tagaung (Tagaung Min) had the tree cut down and cast
into the waters of the Irrawaddy where it floated, coming to rest in the kingdom
in Bagan ruled by King Thinligyaung (344-387), when the two Nats appeared in a
dream apprising the king of their plight. They offered to guard the city if they
were given a place to dwell. King Thinligyaung had the trunk carried to Mount
Popa, divided into two parts (one for each Nat) and carved with human features.
Henceforth Maung Tint De was to be known as the Lord of the Great Mountain. They
were also enshrined on either side of the city's
Tharabha Gate, Maung Tint De on the right and Shwe Myet-hna on the left.[3][7][9]
Later kings had golden heads made of the two Nats and had these heads mounted on
pillars at Mt Popa (the ones from 1812 are still worshiped at the mountain).

or Min Lay, together known as Shwe Hpyin Nyinaung (Brothers) or Taungbyone Min
Nyinaung (Brother Lords), were sons of Byatta, the royal messenger, and Me Wunna,
a flower-eating ogress from Mt Popa, during the reign of King Anawrahta of Bagan.
They were killed for neglecting their duty to provide a brick each thus leaving
gaps in Taungbyone Pagoda, which was built by King Anawrahta.
[6][7]
They are portrayed on pedestals, one lying down and the other upright with his
sword shouldered arrogantly.[8]
Me Wunna died of a broken heart after Byatta was killed and later their sons
were taken away on the king's orders. She became a nat known as Popa Medaw
(Mother of Popa).[3]
