74 LAMBRI, ISLAN'D OF CETLON, 1,13 Ibn Batuta, and placed by Yule (op. cit. II, 277) near the head of the estuary-like Gulf of Pasei, called in the charts Telo (or Talak) Samawe. To the N. W. of Nan-p'o-li, the Ming- shi adds, a high mountain called Mau-shan (ijjg Arabs to designate the peak, although originally applied by them to the Island of Ceylon itself.
I,U JAVA. 75 Keinaud, Relations, etc. I, 5. Ibn Batuta, Voyages, IV, 179—182 says: «The mountain of Serendib is one of the highest in the world; we saw it from the open sea, although we were distant from it nine days' journey .... The impress of the noble foot, that of our father Adam, is seen on a black and high rock, and in an open space. The foot is embedded in the rock, 5 the imprint deeply sunk; its length is eleven spans. The people of China came here in past times; they cut out of the stone the impress of the big toe and around it, and have placed this fragment in a temple of the city of Zeitun (Ts'aan-ch6u-fu) to which they come from the most distant provinces)). From this it appears that the Buddhist legend that the impress of the foot on Adams' Peak was that of the Buddha, had grown up before the fourteenth century; it 10 was unknown apparently to early Chinese writers. Fa-hi6n lived in Ceylon for two years, but makes no mention of the Peak. In the seventh century Hflan-tsang speaks of the Ling-k'i6-shan m^ 1.°^ %^1 "^ U-l)? "^^^ mount of Lanka or Ceylon)) — as the spot where the Buddha preached the Lankavatara sUtra, but he makes no mention of the footprint (Be a I, Eecords, II, 251), nor did I-tsing writing a little later, though he refers. in several places to the 15 Buddha's tooth. In the fifteenth century Adams' Peak is called Si-lan-shan (^, ^M \\\) in Chinese works. See also Tennent, Ceylon, II, 132—141, and E. Dulaurier, Etude sur I'ouvrage intitule Kelation des Voyages, 51, 54. 9) On glass, both opaque and transparent, see infra, Pt. II. Ch. XXXII. It does not appear that camphor was ever procured in Ceylon; it was probably imported there from Sumatra. The blue and 20 red precious stones are sapphires and carbuncles. On the precious stones of Ceylon, see Tennent op. cit., I, 32—40, II, 590—592. «Mu-lan bark» is evidently the bark of the IcunibuJc of the Singha- lese — called maratha-maram by the Tamils; mu-lan transcribing the Tamil word maram. It is the Pentaptera tomentosa, Rox., and «is chiefly prized for its bark, which is sold as medicine, and, in addition to yielding a black dye, it is so charged with calcareous matter that its ashes, 25 when burnt, afford a substitute for the lime which the natives chew with their betel». Tennent, op. cit. I, 99. 10) The previous reference to Si-lan as a «dcpendency» (S ^) of San-fo-ts'i, and the present one are irreconciliable with the statement made in the beginning of this chapter that Si-lan is «under the rule of» (^^ \\\ Nan-p'i, unless we suppose that these statements refer 30 to two different periods or to different portions of the island. 14. JAVA, Sho-p'o im W- The kingdom of Sh6-p'o, which is also called P'u-kia-lung^ (^ ^ f|), 35, is in a south-easterly direction from Ts'uan-chou, (whence) ships start, as a rule, during the winter, for, sailing day and night with the north wind, they can arrive (in Sho-p'o) within about _a month. (.East (of Sho-p'o) you come to the (Ocean)-Sea and to where the waters flow downward; there is the kingdom of women». Still farther east is the 40 Wei-lU; the end of the habitable world ^ (M ^ ^ ^ ^)- . '
