Wisaya Min-Tha taing pyi ga hnyin pon
Picture of the Wisaya Prince being exiled from the country . Wisaya is Visaya in Pali which means victory / triumph . Likely to be the name of the prince rather than meaning victorious prince.

Gauyapa?? Min ne __________ Pon Na-ga
King Gauyapa?? and - could be Gautama ( as in Siddhartha ) but consonant definately looks a Y not a T and a P not a M ( also P and M are similar ) - Pali is not my forte

Brahmin ??

The next one is not terribly clear ( could you post a higher res scan ? )
Could be Si-du-ya-a mat taung or Si-nu-ya-ba mat taung( neither of which makes much sense ) . Could be a name in Pali .

Wisaya Min ( Tha - there seems to a bit missing ) hpaung hne hmyaw thwa khan ?
Scene where the Wisaya Prince sets adrift on a raft .

On the third sword are just initials.

Na Ba Ya ( N B Y )
