The explanation of the omission of the name of Alau d din is also furnished by the Chinese account. After the embassy sent by Su-tan Wang-su-sha ( Sultan Mansur Shah ) in 1459 A.D., there is a long gap before the next embassy was sent in 1481. The name of the king who sent this embassy is not mentioned, and there is no necessity to assume that he was Su-tan Wang-su-shah. The next king Ma-ha-mu-sa, is also simply referred to as the son of the late king. This explains the absence of the name of king Alau d din in the Chinese annals.
