In the following years, Narathu became the ''de facto'' heir-apparent, and Ananda Thuriya's career continued to rise alongside his patron's.<ref name=hy-1-304>Hmannan Vol. 2003: 304</ref> He became a senior minister in 1167 after Narathu had seized the throne by assassinating both Sithu I and Min Shin Saw. Ananda Thuriya continued to serve in the role when Narathu's eldest son and his former pupil Naratheinkha became king in 1171. In 1174, Ananda Thuriya became ensnared in a power struggle between Naratheinkha and his younger brother Crown Prince [[Narapatisithu|Narapati]]. Chronicles say that the king tried to remove the crown prince because he coveted his brother's "exotically beautiful" consort [[Weluwaddy]]. The younger brother, who was commander-in-chief of the army, learned of the plan, and instead had the elder brother assassinated, and seized the throne.<ref name=hy-1-313-315>Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 313–315</ref> |

The younger brother, now King Sithu II, considered Ananda Thuriya too close to his brother, and ordered the execution of the aged courtier. At the execution site, Ananda Thuriya wrote a four-stanza poem to be presented to the king,<ref name=hy-1-316/> titled ''The Law of Nature'',<ref name="Czechoslovak Society for Eastern Studies 1960"/><ref name=laa-38-39/> which was written only a few minutes before his execution.<ref name="Satyendra 2000 p. 8"/> Sithu II pardoned the minister immediately after having read the poem. But it was too late: he was informed that the old minister had already been executed. Chronicles say that the king sobbed uncontrollably before everyone, and was filled with regret, reminiscing how he was raised by the late minister. The king now decreed that his death sentences from then on were to be carried out only after a cooling-off period of a month.<ref name=hy-1-317>Hmannan Vol. 2003: 317</ref> |
