'''Medingu Senbi Kiyamba''' (1467–1508) was ruler of Meeteileipak, now named [[Manipur]]. He was the son of Medingu [[Ningthou Khomba]] and his warrior queen [[Leima Linthoingambi]]. Born Thangwai Ningthouba, he succeeded his father at the age of 24.<ref>{{cite book| author=Rajkumar Jhalajit Singh| author-link=Rajkumar Jhalajit Singh| title=A Short History of Manipur| publisher=O.K. Store| place=Imphal| year=1965}}</ref> He took the name Kiyamba meaning "Conqueror of Kyang", after conquering the Shan kingdom in the [[Kabaw Valley]] in alliance with King Choupha Khe Khomba of [[Kingdom of Pong|Pong]] in 1470.<ref>{{cite book| author=Phanjoubam Tarapot| title=Bleeding Manipur| year=2007| publisher=Har Anand Publications| place=New Delhi| isbn=9788124109021| page=100}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| author=G.G.

==Pheiya==

In celebration for their victory over Kyang, the King of Pong presented Kiyamba with a golden box containing a stone known as ''Pheiya'' (Almighty).<ref>{{cite book| author=Keerti Chand Tensuba| title=Genesis of Indian Tribes: An Approach to the History of Meiteis and Thais| publisher=Inter-India Publications| place=New Delhi| year=1993| isbn=9788121003087}}</ref> Kiyamba built a brick temple in the capital Lamangdong, {{convert|27|km|mi|abbr=off}} south of [[Imphal]], in 1475 for the sacred stone. During this period, Bramins migrated to Manipur.<ref>{{cite journal| author=Takhellambam Debachand Singh| title=Phonological System of Medieval Manipuri| journal=Language in India| volume=14| number=4| date=April 2014| page=58}}</ref> Legend states that a Brahmin identified Pheiya as [[Vishnu]] and said that good fortune would come to the king and kingdom if rice boiled in cow's milk was offered to the deity.<ref>{{cite web| author=P.

==Meitei script==

The royal chronicle ''[[Cheitharol Kumbaba]]'' dates from this time and is one of the primary texts in the Meitei script. Kiyamba's royal edicts have been found in the script in a stone inscription at [[Khoibu, Tengnoupal|Khoibu]] in [[Tengnoupal district]].<ref>{{cite web| author=Michael Everson| title=Preliminary Proposal for Encoding the Meithei Mayek Script in the BMP of the UCS| website=Unicode| date=20 September 2006| url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2006/06308-n3158-meithei.pdf}}</ref>

==Cheithaba==

In 1485, Kiyamba introduced a system for counting years called ''Cheithaba'', by which each year is named for a person who would take responsibility for the suffering of the kingdom during that year.<ref>{{cite book| author=Wahengbem Ibohal Singh| title=The History of Manipur: An Early Period| publisher= Manipur Commercial Co| place=Imphal| year=1986| page=34}}</ref>
