 An inscription on the south wall of the 11th century Brihadeeswarar Temple also made a reference to "Malaiyur", a kingdom that had "a strong mountain for its rampart" in Malay Peninsula that fell to the Chola invaders during Rajendra Chola I's campaign.In the later Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) and Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), the word "Ma-La-Yu" was mentioned often in Chinese historical texts - with changes in spelling due to the time span between the dynasties - to refer to a nation near the southern sea.Among the terms used was "Bok-la-yu", "Mok-la-yu" (木剌由), Ma-li-yu-er (麻里予兒), Oo-lai-yu (巫来由) - traced from the written source of monk Xuanzang), and Wu-lai-yu (無来由).
