8.1.02 - The Malacca Sultanate (1402–1511)

 

" Maka Parameswara pun berjalan balik memembaroh lalu terus kepada sebuah sungai Bertam namanya. Maka kuala sungai itu berbukit. Maka baginda pun datanglah ka-sana berhenti di-bawah sa-pohon kayu terlalu nampak. Maka baginda menyuroh orang berburu. Maka ada sa-ekor pelandok puteh di-perhambat dua ekor anjing perburuan. Maka sa-konyong2 pelandok puteh itu menerajang sa-ekor anjing perburuan lalu anjing itu jatuh ka-ayer. Maka akan sa-ekor anjing lagi pun lari di-perhambat pelandok puteh itu. Maka  terlalu amat hairanlah baginda serta orang2 yang melihat akan hal yang sedemikian rupa itu "


The year was 1400 of the common era, and Sri Parameswara wade through the brushes and came to a river called Bertam. The land around the estuary were hilly. He rested under a shady tree and beckoned to his men to hunt the wild game. Later he saw two hunting dogs chasing a white mousedeer. Suddenly the mousedeer kicked one dog and it fell into the swamp, the other dog ran off. Parameswara and his men were dumbfounded.
