Incense is still burned in memory of this man at the Sam Poo Kong temple, which was built after this man brought a princess and 500 handmaidens to Sultan Mansur Shah. A braid of hair and shoes belonging to this man were buried in a cave after his death. This man may have been ordered to investigate rumors that a monarch's predecessor, who died in a palace fire, was still alive. After this man's prayers apparently caused a "divine lamp" to appear in a storm, he dedicated a stele to a goddess called the Celestial Spouse. This man erected a trilingual inscription in Galle. This man captured Alakeswara, a pretender to the kingship of Kotte, and (*) executed the pirate Chen Zuyi. The king of Malindi gave this man an animal he mistook for the mythical qilin, a giraffe. Gavin Menzies claimed that this man visited America in his book 1421. For 10 points, name this admiral of the Yongle Emperor, a Muslim eunuch who captained seven treasure voyages for the Ming Empire.
