○真臘國　　其國州南之門，為都會之所，有城周圍七十餘里，石河廣二十餘丈，殿宇三十餘所。凡歲時一會，則列玉猿、孔雀、白象、犀牛於前，名曰百塔洲。次桑香佛舍，飲饌必以金盤金碗盛食之。諺云：「富貴真臘也。」氣候常熱，田禾豐足。煮海為鹽，風俗富饒。男女椎髻，穿短衫而圍稍布。法有劓、刺、配，犯盜則斷手足，番人殺唐人則償其命，唐人殺番人則罰其金，無金賣身贖罪。地產黃臘、犀、象、孔雀、沉香、蘇木、大風子油、翠毛。貨用金銀、燒珠、錦段、絲布之屬。　　詩曰：真臘山岡遠，荒城傍海涯。獸禽多彩麗，人物好奢華。列塔為奇異，羅盤逞禮儀。夷風聊可採，吟詠感明時。

○東西竺（其山與龍牙門相望）　　山形分對崖峨，若蓬萊方丈之幽。田瘠不宜稼穡，歲藉鄰邦淡洋米穀以為食。氣候不齊，煮海為鹽，釀椰子為酒。男女斷髮，繫稍布。地產檳榔、木綿、椰心簟。貨用花錫、胡椒、鐵器也。　　詩曰：東西分海境，民物異於常。果啖檳榔實，酒傾椰子漿。貿椒知價值，織簟貨經商。動我遐觀意，吟哦記短章。　　淡洋（其處與阿魯山相連，去滿剌迦三日之程）　　山繞周圍，有港通內大溪，深汪洋二千餘里，奔流出海之中。一流清淡，味甘，舟人過往汲水日用，名曰淡洋。田肥禾盛，米粒小，然炊飯甚香。地產降香。民俗淳厚，氣候常熱。男女椎髻，腰圍稍布。貨用金銀、鐵器、磁碗之屬。　　詩曰：清流甘且淡，奔出海中央。畎畝饒滋味，舟人過汲漿。貿交金辟赤，米小飯炊香。民俗風淳厚，那知在異方。

○龍牙門（在三佛齊之西北也）　　山門相對，若龍牙狀，中通過船。山涂田瘠，米穀甚厚。氣候常熱，四五月間淫雨。男女椎髻，穿短衫，圍稍布。擄掠為豪，遇有番船，則駕小船百隻，迎敵數日。若得順風，僥倖而脫，否則被其截，財被所劫。泛海之客，宜當謹防。　　詩曰：山峻龍牙狀，中通水激湍。居人為擄易，番舶往來難。人夏常多雨，經秋且不寒。從容陪使節，到此得游觀。

○大㖵喃國　　地與都攔礁相近，厥土黑壤，亦宜穀麥。居民懶事耕作，歲藉烏爹之米供食。商舶風信到遲，則波濤激灘，乃載貨不滿，蓋以不敢停泊也。若風逆，則遇巫里洋險阻之難矣，及防高郎阜沉水石之危。風俗頗淳。男女纏頭，穿長衫。地產胡椒、椰子、海魚、檳榔。貨用金錢、青白花磁器、布段之屬。　　詩曰：大㖵喃方險，都欄與結盟。土肥宜稻麥，民懶不耘耕。但有烏爹濟，須防羅股驚。此邦風俗異，舟舶恣吟行。

○佐法兒國　　臨海聚居，石城石屋，壘起高層三五者，若塔其上。田廣而少耕，山地皆黃赤，不生草木，牛、羊、駝、馬惟食魚乾。男女拳髮，穿長衫。女人則以布兜頭面，出見人也不露面貌。風俗頗淳。地產祖剌法、金錢豹、駝雞、乳香、龍涎香。貨用金錢、檀香、米穀、胡椒、色段、絹、磁器之屬。　　詩曰：佐法兒名國，周圍石累城。乳香多土產，穀米少收成。大海魚無限，荒郊草絕生。採風吟異境，民物互經營。

○卜剌哇國　　傍海為國，居民聚落。地廣斥鹵，有鹽池，但投樹枝於池，良久撈起，結成白鹽食用。無耕種之田，捕魚為業。男女拳髮，穿短衫，圍稍布。婦女兩耳帶金錢，頂帶瓔珞。惟有蔥蒜，無瓜茄。風俗頗浮。居屋壘石，高起三五層者。地產馬哈獸、花福祿、豹、麂、犀牛、沒藥、乳香、龍涎香、象牙、駱駝。貨用金銀、段絹、米豆、磁器之屬。　　詩曰：卜剌邦瀕海，無田種稻禾。樹枝投入沼，碱水結為▉差。自古瓜茄乏，從來蔥蒜多。異香兼異獸，感與一吟哦。

○天方國　　地多曠漠，即古筠衝之地，名為西域。風景融和，四時之春也。田沃稻饒，居民安業，風俗好善。有酋長，無事科擾於民，刑法之治，自然淳化。不生盜賊，上下和美。古置禮拜寺，見月初生，其酋長及民下悉皆拜天，以為一國之化，餘無所施。其寺分為四方，每方九十間，共三百六十間。皆白玉為柱，黃甘玉為地，中有黑石一片，方丈餘，曰漢初天降也。其寺層次高上，如塔之狀。男子穿白長衫。地產金箔、寶石、珍珠、獅子、駱駝、祖剌法、豹、麂。馬八尺之高也，即為天馬也。貨用金銀、段疋、色絹、青白花器、鐵鼎、鐵銚之屬。乃日中不市，至日落之後以為夜市，蓋其日色熱之故也。　　詩曰：罕見天方國，遺風禮義長。存心恭后土，加額感穹蒼。玉殿臨西域，山城接大荒。珍珠光彩潔，異獸貴馴良。日以安民業，晚來聚市商。景融禾稼盛，物阜草木香。尤念蒼生志，承恩覽遠邦。採詩雖句俗，誠意獻君王。

○占城國　　永樂七年己丑，上命正使太監鄭和等統領官兵，駕使海船四十八號，往諸番國開讀賞賜。是歲秋九月，自太倉劉家港開船，十月到福建長樂太平港泊。十二月，福建五虎門開洋，張十二帆，順風十晝夜，至占城國。臨海有港曰新洲，西抵交趾，北連中國。他番寶船到彼，其酋長頭戴三山金花冠，身披錦花手巾，臂腿四腕，俱以金鐲，足穿玳瑁履，腰束八寶方帶，如妝塑金剛狀。乘象，前後擁隨番兵五百餘，或執鋒刃短槍，或舞皮牌，捶善鼓，吹椰笛殼筒。其部領乘馬出郊迎接詔賞，下象膝行，匍匐感沐天恩，奉貢方物。　　其國所產巨象、犀牛甚多，所以象牙、犀角廣貿別國。棋楠香一山所產，酋長差人看守採取，民下不可得，如有私偷賣者，露犯則斷其手。烏木、降香，民下樵而為薪。氣候常熱如夏，不見霜雪，草木長春，隨開隨謝。供民以煮海為鹽，田禾甚薄。其國之人，惟食檳榔裹荖葉包蠣殼灰，行住坐臥不絕其口。月日之定，但看月生為初，月晦為滿，如此十次盈虧為一歲，晝夜以善鼓十更為法。酋長及民下非至午不起，非至子不睡。見月則飲酒歌舞為美。酋長所居高廣，屋宇門牆以磚灰▉砌，及堅硬之木雕琢獸畜之形為華飾，外周磚垣。亦有城郭之備，練兵之具，藥鏃刀標之屬。其部領所居，亦分等第，門高有限。民下編茅覆屋，門不過三尺，過者即罪之。一國之食，魚不腐爛不食，釀不生蛆不為美。造酒以米和藥丸乾持入甕中，封固如法收藏，日久其糟生蛆為佳醞。他日開封，用長節竹竿三四尺者，插入糟甕中，或圍坐五人十人，量人入水多寡，輪次吸竹引酒入口，吸盡再入水，若無味則止，有味封留再用。　　歲時縱人採生人膽鬻官，其酋長或部領得膽入酒中，與家人同飲，謂之曰通身是膽。相傳屍頭蠻者，本是婦人也，但無瞳人為異。其婦與家人同寢，夜深飛頭而去，食人糞尖，飛回複合其體，仍活如舊。若知而封固其項，或移體別處，則死矣。如有病者遇食其糞，妖氣入腹，病者必死。此婦人亦罕有者，民家有而不報官者，罪及一家。番人愛其頭，或有觸弄其頭者，必有生死之恨。　　男女椎髻腦後，花布纏頭，上穿短衫，腰圍色布手巾。其國無紙筆之具，但將羊皮槌薄薰黑，削細竹為筆，蘸白灰為字，若蚯蚓委曲之狀。語言燕鴻，全憑通事傳譯。　　詩曰：聖運承天統，雍熙億萬春。元戎持使節，頒詔撫夷民。莫謂江山異，同沾雨露新。西連交趾塞，北接廣南津。酋長尤崇禮，聞風感聖人。棋楠宜進貢，烏木伐為薪。筆寫羊皮紙，言談能舌人。角犀應自縱，牙象尚能馴。蛆酒奇堪酌，屍蠻怪莫陳。遙觀光嶠外，頓覺壯懷伸。採摭裁詩句，摅誠獻紫宸。

○賓童龍國　　其國隸與占城，山地接連。有雙谿澗，水澄清，佛書所云舍衛乞食，即其地也。目連所居遺址尚存。人物、風土、草木、氣候，與占城大同小異。惟喪禮之事，能持孝服，設佛事而度死者，擇僻地而葬之。婚姻遇合，情義不忘，終乖人倫理。屍頭蠻者，比占城害之尤甚，民多置廟，牲血祭之求禳。酋長出入，或象或馬，一如占城。王扮略同，從者前後有百餘人，執盾贊唱，曰亞曰僕。地產棋楠香、象牙，貨用金銀、花布之屬。民下編茅覆屋而居，亦如占城。異其食啖行止狀貌，可笑可嗟矣！　　詩曰：海嶠賓童國，雙溪水色清。目連生育處，佛氏乞游城。地窄居民少，山多野獸鳴。氣融冰不識，日暖草叢生。喪禮微知孝，婚姻略備情。屍蠻嚐糞穢，妖廟祭犧牲。部領鳴鴉導，蠻酋坐象行。棋楠從土產，花布恁商營。搜緝遺風俗，公餘仔細評。

○靈山　　其處峻嶺而方，石泉下帶。民居星散，結網為業。田土肥，耕種一年二收。氣候之節，男女之規，與占城大同小異。　　地產黑紋相對藤杖，每條易斗錫一塊，若粗大而紋疏者，一錦易杖三條。次得檳榔、荖葉，餘無異物所產。其往來販舶，必於此汲水採薪，以濟日用。舶人齋沐三日，崇佛諷經，燃放水燈彩船，以禳人船之災。　　詩曰：靈山方石嶺，其下有泉流。寥落民居少，豐登穀米稠。放燈祈佛福，賽願便商舟。藤杖山中出，魚蝦海內求。梵經曾睹此，今日一遨遊。

○崑崙山　　其山節然瀛海之中，與占城及東、西竺鼎峙相望。山高而方，根盤曠遠，海之名曰崑崙洋。凡往西洋商販，必待順風，七晝夜可過。俗云：「上怕七洲，下怕崑崙，針迷舵夫，人船莫存。」此山產無異物，人無居室，而食山果魚蝦，穴居樹巢矣。　　詩曰：鼎峙東西竺，節然瀛海區。惟愁針舵失，但念穴巢居。四季樹生果，三餐蝦與魚。遐陬無別產，吟詠亦堪書。

○交欄山（自占城、靈山起程，順風十晝夜可到）　　其山高而叢林藤竹，舵桿桅檣篷箬，無所不備。胡元之時，命將高興、史弼領兵萬眾，駕巨舶往闍婆國，遭風至於交欄山下，其船多損。隨登此山，造船百號，復征闍婆得勝，擒其酋長，四國是此知之。至今民居有中國人雜處，蓋此時有病卒百餘留養不歸，而傳生育也。氣候常暑，米穀稀少，民好射獵為業。男女椎髻，穿短衫，繫巫侖布。地產豹、熊、鹿皮、玳瑁。貿易之貨用米穀、五色絹、青布、銅器、青碗之屬。　　詩曰：岌業交欄島，叢林擁翠圍。三春稀黍稷，四景有災威。當腦盤髽髻，披肩掛短衣。熊皮多美麗，玳瑁甚希奇。使節仍臨蒞，遺氓亦願歸。遙觀瞻山海，得句樂心機。

○暹羅國（自占城起程，順風十晝夜可至）　　其國山形如城，白石峭峻厲。地周千里，外山崎嶇，內嶺深邃。田平而沃，稼多豐熟，氣候常熱。風俗勁悍，專尚豪強，侵掠鄰境，削檳榔木為標，水牛皮為牌，藥鍦等器，慣習水戰。男女椎髻，白布纏頭。穿長衫，腰束青花色布手巾。其酋長及民下謀議，百物出入錢穀，煮海為鹽產。大小之事，悉決於婦，其男一聽，可與牝雞之鳴。苟合無序，遇我中國男子愛之，必置酒致待而敬之，歡歌留宿。婦人多為尼姑，道士皆能誦經持齋，服色略似中國之制，亦造庵觀之所。已重喪禮之事，人死之時，必用水銀灌養其屍，而後擇高阜地，設佛事，即葬之。釀蔗為酒，俗以海貝代錢，通行於市，每一萬個准中統鈔二十四貫。地產羅斛香，焚極清遠，亞於沉香。次有蘇木、犀角、象牙、翠毛、黃臘、大風子油。貨用青白磁器、花布、色絹、段匹、金銀、銅錢、燒珠、水銀、雨傘之屬。　　詩曰：海外暹羅國，山形似壘城。三春花草盛，九夏稻禾榮。竟日男安坐，移時婦決行。髻端羅布白，腰下束花青。失序人倫亂，無條禮法輕。富尊酋長貴，豪俠庶民橫。香翠通商販，海貝如鈔行。蠻戎欽帝德，金錶貢神京。

○爪哇國（自占城起程，順風二十晝夜可至其國）　　古名闍婆，地廣人稠，實甲兵器械，乃為東洋諸番之衝要。舊傳鬼子魔天，正於此地，與一罔象青面紅身赤髮相合。凡生子百餘，常食啖人血肉。佛書所云鬼國，其中只此地也。人被啖幾盡，忽一日雷震石裂，中坐一人，眾稱異之，遂為國主，即領兵驅逐罔象，而不為害。後復生齒而安業，乃至今國之移文，後書一千三百七十六年。考之肇啟漢初，傳至我宣德七年。　　港口以入去馬頭曰新村。居民環接，編茭樟葉覆屋，鋪店連行為市，買賣聚集。其國富饒，珍珠、金銀、鴉鶻、貓睛、青紅等石、車渠、瑪瑙、荳蔻、蓽茇、梔子花、木香、青鹽，無所不有，蓋在通商之處也。其鸚鵡、鸚鷊、孔雀，能馴言語歌曲。其倒掛鳥，身如雀大，披五色羽，日間焚香於其傍，夜則張羽翼而倒掛，張尾翅而放香。　　民俗好兇強，但生子一歲，則置刀於背，名曰不剌頭，以金銀象牙雕刻為靶。凡男子自幼至老，貧富皆有，插於腰間。若有爭論，不通罵詈，即拔刀刺之，強者為勝。設被殺之，藏躲三日而出去，即無事也。男子猱頭裸身，惟腰圍單帶手巾。能飲酗酒，重財輕命。婦人亦然，惟項上金珠聯紉帶之，兩耳塞茭樟葉圈於竅中。其喪事，凡其主翁之死，婢妾之眾而對誓曰：「死則同往。」臨殯之日，妻妾奴婢皆滿頭帶草花，披五色手巾，隨屍至海邊或野地，將屍於沙地，得眾犬食盡為好。如食不盡，則悲泣號歌。柴堆於傍，眾婦坐其上，良久之際，縱火燒柴而死，則殉葬之禮也。　　蘇魯馬益，亦一村地名也，為市聚貨商舶米糧港口。有洲聚猢猻數百，傳聞於唐時，其家五百餘口，男婦兇惡，忽一日有僧至其家，乃言吉凶之事，其僧取水噀之，俱化為獼猴，止留其老嫗不化。今存舊宅，本處及商者常設飲食、檳榔、花果、肉類而祭之，不然，則禍福甚有驗也。此怪誕之事，本不可記，尤可為之戒矣。　　杜板一村，亦地名也。海灘有水一泓，甘淡可飲，稱曰聖水。元時使將史弼、高興因征其國，經月不下雨，舟中乏糧，軍士失措。史、高二將拜天祝曰：「奉命伐蠻，如天與水即生，不與之則死。」祝之，插槍碱苦海灘，其泉水隨槍湧出，水味甘甜，眾軍汲而飲之。乃令曰：「天賜助爾。」兵威大振，喊聲奮殺，番兵百萬餘眾悉皆敗走。遂已登岸，隨殺隨入，生擒番人煮而食之，至今稱為中國能食人也。獲囚酋長歸國，服罪放歸，改封為爪哇國王也。欽遵我朝皇上，遣正使太監鄭和等，節該齎捧詔敕賞賜國王、王妃，及其部領村主民下，草木咸受天福。其國王臣既沐天恩，遣使絡繹不停，擎捧金筒金葉表文，貢獻方物。　　詩曰：古是闍婆國，曾遭鬼母殃。震雷驚石裂，深穴見人藏。歡忭皆知異，扶持眾立王。人民從教化，罔象被驅亡。婦女誇家富，男兒縱酒強。鸚歌時刷翠，倒掛夜分香。婚娶吹椰殼，人隨御竹槍。田疇禾稼盛，商賈貨財昌。洲上獼猴聚，溪邊祭祀忙。蠻夷遵聖詔，永世沐恩光。

○舊港（自爪哇國起程，順風八晝夜至）古名三佛齊國。自港入去，田土甚肥，倍於他壤。古云：「一季種穀，三季生金。」言其米穀盛而為金也，民故富饒。俗囂好淫。有操略，水戰甚慣。其處水多地少，部領者皆在岸邊，居屋之用，匝民僕而宿，其餘民庶皆置木筏上，蓋屋而居。若近溪船，以木樁拴閘，設其水漲，則筏浮起，不能湮沒也。或欲別居，起樁去之，連屋移拔，不勞其力。此處之民，爪哇所轄，風俗與爪哇大同小異。地產黃熟香、速香、沉香、黃蠟並鶴頂之類。貨用燒煉五色珠、青白磁器、銅鼎、五色布絹、色段、大小磁器、銅錢之屬。永樂三年，我朝太宗文皇帝命正使太監鄭和等，統領舟師往諸番國。海寇陳祖義等聚三佛齊國，抄掠番商，亦來犯我舟師，被我正使深機密策，若張網獲獸而殄滅之，生擒厥魁，獻俘闕下，由此海內振肅。　　詩曰：瀕海沙泥地，田禾熟倍金。男兒多狠暴，女子甚哇淫。地僻蠻夷逆，天差正使擒。俘囚獻闕下，四海悉欽遵。

○滿剌加國（自舊港起程，順風八晝夜至此）　　其處舊不稱國，傍海居之，山孤人少。受降於暹羅，每歲輸金四十兩，以為納稅。田瘠少收。內一山泉流溪下，民以溪中淘沙取錫，煎銷成塊，曰斗塊，每塊重官秤一斤四兩。及織蕉心簟。惟以斗錫通市，餘無產物。氣候朝熱暮寒。男女椎髻，身膚黑漆，間有白者，唐人種也。俗尚淳厚，以淘釣於溪，網漁於海。房屋如樓閣，即不鋪設，但有不條稀布，高低層次，連牀就榻，箕居而坐，飲食廚廁俱在其上也。貨用清白磁器、五色燒珠、色絹、金銀之屬。永樂七年，皇上命正使太監鄭和等齎捧詔敕，賜以雙台銀印，冠帶袍服，建碑封域，為滿剌加國，其暹羅始不敢擾。永樂十三年，酋長感慕聖，挈妻攜子貢獻方物，涉海朝謝，聖上賞勞歸國。　　詩曰：滿剌村寥落，山孤草木幽。青禾田少種，白錫地多收。朝至熱如暑，暮來涼似秋。羸形漆膚體，椎髻布纏頭。鹽煮海中水，身居柵上樓。夷區風景別，賦詠採其由。

○九洲山　　其山與滿剌加國接境。產沉香、黃熟香，水木叢生，枝葉茂翠。永樂七年，正使太監鄭和等，差官兵入山採香，得莖有八九尺長者、八九尺大者六株，香清味遠，黑花細紋，其實罕哉！番人張目吐舌，悉皆稱贊天兵之神，蛟龍走，兔虎奔也。　　詩曰：九洲山色秀，遠見鬱蒼蒼。四面皆環海，滿枝都是香。樹高承雨露，歲久表禎祥。採伐勞天使，回朝獻帝王。

○蘇門答剌國　　古名須文達那，與花面國相接。村落傍海，田瘠少收。胡椒廣產，椒藤延附樹木而生，其葉如匾豆，其花開黃白，結椒乃累垂如棕櫚子而粒少也。只番秤一播苛，抵我官秤三百二十斤，價銀錢二十個，重銀陸兩。金抵納即金錢也，每四十八個，重金一兩四分。　　風俗頗淳。民下網魚為生，朝駕獨木刳舟張帆而出海，暮則回舟。男子頭纏白布，腰圍摺布，婦女椎髻裸體，腰圍色布手巾。產鶴頂。其瓜、茄、橘、柚酸甜之果，一種五年常花常結。有一等果皮若荔枝，如瓜大，未剖之時，甚如爛蒜之臭，剖開取囊，如酥油美香。煮海為鹽。貨用青白磁器、銅錢、金銀、爪哇布、色絹之屬。　　永樂十一年，偽王蘇乾剌寇竊其國，王遣使赴闕陳訴請救，上命正使太監鄭和等統率官兵剿捕，生擒偽王。至永樂十三年歸獻闕下，諸番振服。　　詩曰：一覽蘇門境，山泉劃界流。胡椒林抄結，民屋海邊幽。地瘠收禾薄，山高產木稠。三春沾雨浩，四季瘴煙浮。男子頭纏布，嬰孩體木猴。瓜茄常歲有，桔柚不時收。朝熱渾如暑，暮寒還似秋。精鹽色霜雪，臭果味酥油。若個夷風俗，中華解此否。

○花面國　　其處與蘇門答剌國接境。遠迤山地，田足稻禾。氣候不常，風俗尚厚。男女大小皆以黑汁刺面，為花獸之狀。猱頭裸體，單布圍腰。孳生牛羊，雞鴨羅市。不奪其弱，上下自耕自食，富不驕奢，貧不生盜，可為一區之宜也。詩曰：蠻域觀風異，融和草木深。山高分地界，物阜慰民心。腰布羞還掩，顏花墨牛侵。牛羊迷綠野，雞鴨賣黃金。頗富知仁義，雖貧肯濫淫？那堪採夷俗，援筆寫新吟。

○龍牙犀角　　其地內平而外尖，下民蟻附而居之。氣候常熱，田禾時熟。俗尚淳厚。男女椎髻，圍麻逸布，穿短衫。以親戚尊長為重，一日不見，則攜酒持肴而問安。煮海為鹽，釀秫為酒。地產沉、速、降真、黃熟香、鶴頂、蜂蜜、砂糖。貨用土印布、八都剌布、青白磁器之屬。　　詩曰：遙望茲山勢，龍牙犀角峰。居民如蟻附，椎髻似猴容。汲海鹽煎雪，懸崖蜜掇蜂。布稍圍體厚，秫米造漿濃。氣候常同夏，林花不較冬。問安行禮節，千載見遺風。

○龍涎嶼　　此嶼南立海中，浮豔海面，波擊雲騰。每至春間，群龍所集於上，交戲而遺涎沫，番人乃架獨木舟登此嶼，採取而歸。設遇風波，則人俱下海，一手附舟傍，一手揖水而至岸也。其龍涎初若脂膠，黑黃色，頗有魚腥之氣，久則成就大泥。或大魚腹中剖出，若斗大圓珠，亦覺魚腥，間焚之，其發清香可愛。貨於蘇門之市，價亦非輕，官秤一兩，用彼國金錢十二個，一斤該金錢一百九十二個，准中國銅錢四萬九十文，尤其貴也。　　詩曰：一片平方石，群龍任往還。身騰霄漢上，交戲海波間。吐沫人爭取，拿舟路險難。邊夷曾見貢，歡笑動天顏。

○翠藍嶼　　其山大小有七門，中可過船。傳聞釋迦佛經此山，浴於水，被竊其袈裟，佛誓云：「後有穿衣者，必爛皮肉。」由此男女削髮無衣，僅有樹葉紉結而遮前後。米穀亦無，惟在海網捕魚蝦，及蕉、椰子之為食啖也。然聞此語，未可深信。然其往來，未得泊其山下。宣德七年壬子十月二十三日，風雨水不順，偶至此山，泊繫三日夜，山中之人駕獨木舟來貨椰實，舟中男婦果如前言，始知不謬矣。　　詩曰：浩蕩翠藍嶼，叢林茂不疏。人形其獸類，椰實以瓜粗。腰掩草微有，頭髡髮竟無。幾番揮筆寫，堪記不堪圖。

○錫蘭山國　　其國地廣人稠，貨物各聚，亞於爪哇。國有高山，參天之聳，山頂產有青美盤石、黃鴉鶻石、青紅寶石，每遇大雨，衝流山下，沙中尋拾得者。其海傍有珠簾沙，常以網取螺蚌，傾入珠池內，作爛淘珠為用而貨也。海邊有一磐石，上印足跡，長三尺許，常有水不乾，稱為先世釋迦佛從翠藍嶼來登此岸，足躡其跡，至今為聖跡也。山下有寺，稱為釋迦佛涅▉真身，在寺側臥尚存，亦有舍利子在其寢處。氣候常熱。俗樸富饒，米穀足收。地產寶石、珍珠、龍涎、乳香，貨用金、銀、銅錢、青花白磁、色段、色絹之屬。男女纏頭，穿長衫，圍單布。　　永樂七年，皇上命正使太監鄭和等齎捧詔敕、金銀供器、彩妝、織金寶幡，佈施於寺，及建石碑以崇皇圖之治，賞賜國王頭目。其王亞烈苦奈兒負固不恭，謀害舟師。我正使太監鄭和等深機密策，暗設兵器，三令五申，使眾銜枚疾走，夜半之際，信炮一聲，奮勇殺入，生擒其王。永樂九年，歸獻闕下。尋蒙恩宥，俾復歸國，四夷悉欽。　　詩曰：地廣錫蘭國，營商亞爪哇。高峰生寶石，大雨雜泥沙。淨水宜眸子，神光臥釋迦。池深珠燦爛，枝茂樹交加。出物奇偏貴，遺風富且奢。立碑當聖代，傳誦樂無涯。

○小㖵喃國　　山連赤土，地接下里，日中為市，西洋諸國之馬頭也。本國流通使用金錢名倘伽，每個重八分。小金錢名吧喃，四十個准大金錢一個，以便民也。田瘠而穀少，歲藉榜葛剌米足食。氣候常熱，風淳俗美，男少女多，有南毗人。地產胡椒，亞於下里。乾檳榔，波羅蜜、色布，其木香、乳香、珍珠、珊瑚、酥油、孩兒茶、梔子花，皆自他國也。貨用丁香、豆寇、蘇木、色段、麝香、金銀銅器、鐵線、黑鉛之屬。　　詩曰：西海㖵喃國，諸番貨殖通。民情應各別，花木總相同。珠子光涵白，珊瑚色潤紅。何由男與女，混雜自遺風。

○柯枝國　　其處與錫蘭山國對峙。氣候常熱，田瘠少收，村落傍海。風俗頗淳。男女椎髻，穿短衫，圍單布。其有一種曰木瓜，無屋居之，惟穴居樹巢，臨海捕魚為業。男女裸體，紉結樹葉或草數莖，遮其前後之羞。行路遇人，則蹲縮於道傍，伺過方行也。地產胡椒甚廣，富家俱置板倉貯之，以售商販。行使小金錢，名吧喃。貨用色段、白絲、青白花磁器、金銀之屬。　　詩曰：嗟彼柯枝國，山連赤鹵場。穴居相類獸，市集更通商。米穀少收實，胡椒積滿倉。恩宣中使至，隨處識蠻鄉。

○古里國　　當巨海之要，與僧伽密邇，亦西濰諸番之馬頭也。山廣田瘠，麥穀頗足。風俗甚厚，行者讓路，道不拾遺。法無刑杖，惟以石灰划地，乃為禁令。其酋長富居深山﹔傍海為市，聚貨通商。男子穿長衫，頭纏白布。其婦女穿短衫，圍色布，兩耳懸帶金牌落索數枚，其頂上珍珠、寶石、珊瑚連瓔珞，臂腕足脛皆金銀鐲，手足指皆金廂寶石戒指，髻椎腦後，容白髮黑，嬌美可觀。其有一種裸身之人曰木瓜，與柯枝同。地產胡椒，亞於下里，俱有倉廩貯之，待商之販。有薔薇露、波羅蜜、孩兒茶、印花被面、手巾，其有珊瑚、珍珠、乳香、木香、金箔之類，皆由別國之來。其能蓄好馬，自西番而來，動經金錢千百為疋。其國若西番馬來，本國馬來不買，則議為國空之言也。貨用金銀、色段、青花白磁器、珍珠、麝香、水銀、樟腦之屬。　　詩曰：古里通西域，山青景色奇。路遺人不拾，家富自無欺。酋長施仁恕，人民重禮儀。將書夷俗事，風化得相宜。

○忽魯謨斯國　　其國傍海而居，聚民為市。地無草木，牛、羊、馬、駝皆食海魚之乾。風俗頗淳。壘石為城，酋長深居，練兵畜馬。田瘠麥廣，穀米少收，民下富饒。山連五色，皆是鹽也。鑿之鏇為器皿盤碟之類，食物就而不加鹽也。壘堆石而為屋，有三四層者，其廚廁臥室待客之所，俱在上也。男子拳髮，穿長衫，善弓矢騎射。女子編髮四垂，黃繚其項，穿長衫。出則布幔兜頭，面用紅青紗一方蔽之，兩耳輪用掛珞索金錢數枚，以青石磨水，妝點眼眶唇臉花紋為美。項掛寶石、珍珠、珊瑚，紉為瓔珞。臂腕腿足俱金銀鐲，此富家之規也。行使金銀錢，產有珍珠、金箔、寶石、龍涎香、撒哈剌、梭眼、絨毯。貨用金銀、青白花磁器、五色段絹、木香、金銀香、檀香、胡椒之屬。　　詩曰：忽魯謨斯國，邊城傍海居。鹽山高壘嵂，酋長富盈餘。原隰唯收麥，牛羊總食魚。女纏珠珞索，男坐翠氍毹。瑪瑙珊瑚廣，龍涎寶石珠。蠻邦成絕域，歷覽壯懷舒。

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
