Ptolemy showed the Malay Peninsula on his early map with a label that translates as "
Golden Chersonese". He referred to the Straits of Malacca as
Sinus Sabaricus.

Srivijaya.

The coming of the Chola reduced the majesty of Srivijaya, which had exerted influence over Kedah, Pattani and as far as Ligor.
The Buddhist
kingdom of Ligor took control of Kedah shortly after. Its king
Chandrabhanu used it as a base to attack
Sri Lanka in the 11th century, an event noted in a stone inscription in Nagapattinum in
Tamil Nadu and in the Sri Lankan chronicles,

"Pattinapalai", a Tamil poem of the second century CE, describes goods from Kadaram heaped in the broad streets of the Chola capital. A 7th-century Sanskrit drama,
Kaumudhimahotsva, refers to Kedah as Kataha-nagari. The
Agnipurana also mentions a territory known as Anda-Kataha with one of its boundaries delineated by a peak, which scholars believe is Gunung Jerai. Stories from the
Katasaritasagaram describe the elegance of life in Kataha.

Within a few days, Parameswara killed Temagi and appointed himself regent. Some five years later he had to leave Temasek, due to threats from Siam. During this period, a Javanese fleet from Majapahit attacked Temasek.
Parameswara headed north to found a new settlement. At
Muar, Parameswara considered siting his new kingdom at either Biawak Busuk or at Kota Buruk. Finding that the Muar location was not suitable, he continued his journey northwards.
