King Net Shin Naung is considered by many to be the greatest yadu (a classical genre of poetry) poet in Burmese history. He was King of Taungoo. Many of his works are dedicated to a princess named Yarza Dartu Kalyar. The themes of his poetry were often of love, nature, and war.

Net Shin Naung employed the use of vocabulary and rhymes in his works. In addition, he was a warrior, who advanced many military strategies and tactics of Burma. Some of his yatu poems describe the infantry and the elephant troops. It has been claimed that Net Shin Naung sent his poems to Yarza Dartu Kalyar through the usage of a parrot. He wrote all of his works during his youth.

Later in life, Net Shin Naung focused on obtaining power for his kingdom. His poems on war are said to have been based on his experiences as a young prince. Net Shin Saung, with the help of Portuguese delegate Philip de Brito, tried to expand the boundaries of the Taungoo Kingdom. The border expansion was successful, until King Anautphatlun executed the duo of high treason.
