But the Nāgara-Kṛtāgama, composed in A.D. 1365, gives us a very comprehensive list of the petty states in Sumatra which all acknowledged the supremacy of Java. As we have seen above (see p. 330) the list includes Samudra, Lambri, and Perlak, *i.e.* the northernmost states, referred to above. The statement of Nāgara-Kṛtāgama may be true, and perhaps all these states now recognised the king of Java as their suzerain in more or less the same way that they acknowledged Kublai Khan in 1292 A.D. as noticed by Marco Polo.
