Malacca

See G. Ferrand, Malaka, le Malayu et Malāyur, J. As., 1918. Besides Malayu of Sumatra, there was a city of Malayur which M. Ferrand thinks is Malacca.

VIII., p. 282 n. “This informs us that Malacca first acknowledged itself as tributary to the Empire in 1405, the king being Sili-ju-eul-sula (?).”

In this name Si-li-ju-eul-su-la, one must read 八 pa, instead of 入, and read Si-li-pa-eul-su-la = Siri Paramisura (Çrī Parameçvara). (Pelliot, Bul. Ecole franç. Ext. Orient, IV., July–Sept., 1904, p. 772.)

IX., p. 285. “They [the rhinoceros] do no mischief, however, with the horn, but with the tongue alone; for this is covered all over with long and strong prickles [and when savage with any one they crush him under their knees and then rasp him with their tongue].”

“Its tongue is like the burr of a chestnut.” (Chau Ju-kwa, P. 233.)

IX., p. 289.
