A TRANSLATION OF THE KEDD'AH ANNALS. 261 
manner, the Raj£ returned to his hall and palace, on the ele¬ 
phant Jauhari. The game and fruits and dried fish on the 
elephants were then deposited in the palace. His highness 
next directed the female attendants to bring out plenty of 
dishes of rice and fried fruits, and preserves, for the two 
elephants. After this they went away straight to Gunong 
Jerrai, and they caused the Raj£ and his four ministers to 
dream that they, the two elephants, would be found either at 
that mountain or at Patani, and that should the Rajd or his 
ministers require them they must burn incense and fragrant 
gums, and offer sinto and lime juice, and invoke the names of 
the two elephants, [12J 
NOTES. 
[12] The following observations may serve to illustrate the fore® 
going paragraphs: 
The expedition to Achin appears to have been the first on© 
undertaken from Keddd. I have found in various directions sculp¬ 
tured stones of the kind now worked in Achin. But the quantity 
imported in one or two small prahus must have been very insigni¬ 
ficant, and I suppose therefore that these stones weie oniy intended 
to embellish porticos, or to be used as capitals or base? to pillar* 
of ordinary architecture. The stone is called by our author *' hill 
rock.” The slabs I have found consist of g.anite, sand atone and 
clay and chlorite slate. 
The outlines of Raja Bersiyong’s fort are still to be traced on the 
north bank of the Muda river, and I many years ago excavated 
several mounds scattered near the opposite bank, in the Br.tish 
territory, and found them to be the ruins of lem les dedic ated to 
the Buddhist and Hindoo worship combined, although I suspect 
Siva was he ( d the most honored shrine. I have followed the tract of 
the Raja in his excursion round Gunong Jerrei, and the appearance 
of the country verifies the description given. The forests here 
abound in flowering trees, many of which bear edible fruits, and 
game is plentiful. But ve »iaon is the flesh generally most priced 
by the Malays as game. It is dried in the sun as here desoiibed, 
and sold in the bazars. Dried buffalo flesh and sahed ducks* eggs 
form still a part of the exports from Kedd£. I hive appended a 
sketch to shew what I apprehend to have been the extent of country 
occupied by the Hindu Rdjds. 
The account of Kota Aur is quite correct. By the sinuosities 
of the Muda river, then called ** the river,” the distance of the sea 
must have been a pull of perhaps three hours, while in a direct line 
the sea could and now can be reached iu less than an hour*
