'627'  Siddhout or Siddhavattam; Cuddapah district。

'628'  The passage is incomplete; and I have rendered it as seems reasonable。 It runs; 〃VINTE E CIMCO MILL E QUINHENTOS DE CAVALLO E;〃 &c。 Looking at the other lists of troops; it cannot be supposed that this chief had to provide 25;000 horse。 It seems more probable that such a word as PIAES was accidentally omitted after MILL; and that MILL should have been repeated before QUINHENTOS。

'629'  Perhaps Rachol; near Goa。

'630'  Bicholim (?)。

'631'  〃Bengapor〃 as elsewhere spelt; I。E。 Bankapur; south of Dharwar。

'632'  See the last sentence of the chronicle of Paes (above; p。 290); where a town 〃on the east〃 is called the new city which Krishna Deva built in honour of his favourite wife。 The writer has evidently been confused in that statement; for it seems clear that the town so founded was Nagalapur; the old name for Hospett; with which it is distinctly identified in other places。 This town 〃on the east〃 is said; in the sentence referred to; to bear the name 〃Ardegema;〃 and the locality is hard to determine。 〃East〃 of what? If east of Nagalapur be meant; then Ardegema or Ondegema (GEMA probably represents GRAMA; 〃village〃) might have been a suburb of that town。 If east of the capital be intended; I cannot identify the place。 But these places evidently were close to the capital; bordering on the crown lands。 This; I take it; is the meaning of 〃bordering on the lands (TERRA) of Bisnaga。〃

'633'  These three places I cannot identify。 〃Diguoty〃 may perhaps be Duggavatti; in the Harpanhalli division of the Bellary district。 〃Darguem〃 suggests 〃Droog〃 or 〃Durgam。〃 The word is applied to a hill…fort; of which there are many in the neighbourhood。 One of the most important was Rayadrug; south of Bellary。 One of the ghat roads leading eastwards from Goa is called the 〃gate de Digui〃 in old maps。

'634'  Possibly Kalale in Mysore; a place fifteen miles south of that capital。 It is said to have been founded in 1504 by a noble who was connected with the Vijayanagar royal family (Rice's gazetteer; ii。 255)。

'635'  Unidentified。

'636'  Perhaps Budehal in Mysore; which like Kalale was founded by a Vijayanagar officer; and contains several sixteenth…century inscriptions。 It is in the Chittaldrug division; forty miles south of that place。

'637'  Mangalore。

'638'  Unidentified。

'639'  ROUPA。 Linen cloth。 The word is not used of cotton; and the next sentence shows that cotton did not grow in that tract。

'640'  I hazard the suggestion that this may be a mistake of the copyist for 〃Avati。〃 This place; now a village in the Kolar district of Mysore; was in the fifteenth century an important place; a ruling family having been founded here by the 〃Morasu Wokkalu〃 or 〃Seven Farmers〃 (Rice; 〃Mysore and Coorg;〃 ii。 20)。 The description applies to it fairly well。

'641'  Calicut。

'642'  Either 〃the ghats;〃 or perhaps Gutti (Goofy)。 The rich Vajra Karur diamond mines are about twenty miles south…west of Gooty; where are the remains of a very fine hill…fortress。

'643'  See note above; p。 368。

'644'  Mudkal。

'645'  Raichur。

'646'  I。E。 of the Hindu religion; not Muhammadans。

'647'  NOVEIS in the original; probably for NOTAVEIS。

'648'  Telugus。

'649'  This was certainly not the case。

'650'  The Ganges。

'651'  Its history is known from A。D。 1304; when it was acquired by Ala…ud…Din Khilji from the Rajah of Malwa。

'652'  De Montfart's 〃Survey of all the East Indies。〃 Translation; edition of 1615; p。 34。

'653'  Purchas; i。 218。

'654'  See Yule and Burnell's Dictionary; S。V。 〃Maund。〃
