[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 25,000horse.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.
