No. 55. — 1904.] RAJA SINHA II. AND THE DUTCH. 271 
''^^ Saar (C.A.S. Jl,, XL, p. 298) says : " On the 25th of January 
[s«c] Captain Johan Hartmann, of Cassel in Hesse, volunteered to go to 
the Emperor with every mark of respect. The Emperor would not 
receive him until the third day, and then he summoned him to offer 
his presents, which were very graciously accepted. As the Emperor 
was very anxious about Colombo he did not keep our Captain very 
long, gave him a gold chain and an elephant, and very soon sent him 
off again to our G-eneral with other presents, in return, many jewels 
and two elephants for the Company." 
Translated from the original (in Portuguese) in the Ceylon 
Record Office (see also summary in Baldseus, loc. citS), 
Saar (^^.s.) says : " On the 2nd of February [s?'c] the said 
Captain returned with a letter to our General and the Company, stating 
that it would be well not to attempt in future a hazardous under- 
taking without his (the King's) knowledge, as he was very sorry to 
see so many good soldiers needlessly sacrificed by us." Baldseus 
says : "The Lieutenant was presented by the Emperor with a gold 
chain and a ring. The Emperor had also previously learnt through 
his Dissaves that one of our mines had been sprung, and that it had 
killed many of our men, but was now happy at hearing the contrary."

Bald^us, op. cit., chap. XXIX. (see also C.A.S. Jl., XL, p. 51). 
I have found no other reference to this engagement, which took 
place evidently after the disastrous defeat of Constantino de Sa in 
Uva (c/. Raja Siigha's letter of 9th September, 1636, supra). 
362 TjjQ famous Disava of the Fout Korales, whose exploits are 
recorded by Bocarro and Faria y Sousa (see also Rehelion de Ceylan^ 
in C.A.S. JL, XL, pp. 602, 603). His garden referred to here was 
apparently at Nakolagama (c/. Lee's Riheyro, p. 88). 
363 Orig^ f 07iderhoning =. lit. " under-king." Who this upardja 
was is not very clear ; perhaps the " Mara Tana Wandaar " 
( ? Maratenne Baiidara) spoken of in Raja Si^ha's letter of 9th Sept., 
1636, supra. 
A misreading or misprint for Coumara, 
Compare the foregoing with what Raja Si^ha says in his letter 
of 9th September, 1636, supra. 
366 Cf. Rdjdvaliya^ Eng. trans., p. 101. 
367 1 can find no record of this letter. 
368 In Gunasekara's edition of the Rajdvaliya (Eng. trans., pp. 88, 
94, 96, 102) the name is spelt " Raggahawatta." Valentyn {Ceylon^ 
p. 26) locates Reygamwatte south of the " Colombo " (Kelani) river, 
in the district of Malvana ; but in his map it is shown north of the 
river, between " Emboelgam " and " Nagam." Baldasus's map also 
places it north of the Kelani, a little to the west of Malvana. I am 
uncertain as to the exact position of the place ; but that it lay to the 
north of the Kelani river is evident from what Raja Sinha says in his
