We must, therefore, try to supplement the account of Nag. Kr. by such other data as we possess. In the first place we have a Malay book called Hikāyat Rājarāja Pasay¹ which gives a long list of foreign territories under the supremacy of Majapahit at the time of its conquest by the Muhammadans. This list also refers to vassal states in Sumatra, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and the various islands in the Archipelago such as Tambelan, Anamba, Natuna, Tiyuma, Karimata, Biliton, Banka, Riouw, Lingga, Bintan, Banda, Cera, Sumbawa, Lombok, Bali, and southern part of Celebes. As the two lists emanate from two entirely different authorities living in different countries, and the periods contemplated are separated by a century, we cannot expect a complete agreement of names in them. But the general resemblance between the two is sufficient to establish the historical character of Nag. Kr.
