Ryklof van Goens arrived at Columbo on 3rd November, 1658, 
from the Coromandel Coast, after various conquests there (Valentyn, 
Ceylon, p. 147). 
I can find no reference elsewhere to the plots alluded to by the king.

This is apparently Bibile in the Uva Province ; but I can find 
no mention of a royal residence there. Raja Sinha had doubtless 
gone to Bibile for a course of baths in the hot ferruginous springs 
from which the place derives its name. Knox (who had just entered 
upon his long captivity when this letter was written) does not refer to 
the place. {Cf next letter.) 
Fransvanden Berg, doubtless (see supra, and Cey. Lit. Reg., IV., 
pp. 286, 292). 
442 rpjjg signature of this and the next letter (both of which are 
very carelessly written), it will be seen, differs from that in previous 
letters.

The orig. has terras, an evident error for sennas. 
Peraliaras (see Knox, Hist, Rel,, p. 78). 
According to Knox {Hist. Rel,, p. 5), the King never again 
returned to Kandy, which thereupon fell to decay.
