Do you know of historical/legendary accounts involving coconut cultivation or use of coconut in Asia?

07 July 2014 1 9K Report

There are good reasons to think that coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) cultivation is old, both in South Asia and in South-East Asia. Yet, information given in specialized books is scanty and often unreliable. The best sources I know of are from Arab travellers, such as Ibn Batutta or Ibn Jubayr. I would like to collect mentions of coconut cultivation or use in local chronicles, legends or religious scriptures. Answers with precise references are preferred.

Thanks in advance.
