The country is vast and densely populated, and many goods are gathered here and circulated. There are also high mountains that reach up to the sky. The mountains have green rocks, yellow gemstones, green, gemstones, and red gemstones. Every time there is heavy rain, they rush down the mountain to be found by others in the sand. There are curtains of sand near the sea, and conches and mussels are often picked up with nets and
poured into a pond where they the best are taken as cargo. There is a rock on the seashore with a three-foot-long footprint on it. This footprint is always kept wet by the waves, and it is said to be left by Buddha Shakyamuni when he traveled here from the jade blue islands and landed here. It is now a holy relic.
There is a temple at the foot of the mountain, and it is said that the real body of Buddha Shakyamuni exists beside the temple, with a Sarira at the place where he sleeps. The climate is very hot here. It is simple and rich with good harvests. Gems, pearls, ambergris, frankincense, gold, silver, copper coins, white porcelain with blue patterns, colored thread, colored silk, and other items are produced here.
The men and women wrap their heads here, wear long gowns, and wrap a sheet around themselves. In the seventh year of Yongle, the emperor ordered the eunuch Zheng He and others to present an imperial edict, gold and silver offerings, and woven gold banners to the king and leaders of the land, as well as donate to temples and erect a stone table to honor the emperor's rule.
The king, Vira Alakesvara, was disrespectful and murdered the boat master. I was instructing the eunuch Zheng He and others to secretly strategize and secretly set up weapons.
After many commands and warnings, we dispersed the rabble and rushed in bravely to capture the king alive upon hearing the signal.
In the ninth year of Yongle, Zheng He returned with his captive, who was there to apologize to the emperor for offenses against Zheng He's mission.
