We paft next by the Town of Indelvai, of which nothing is to be faid in 
particular, but that a great many Swords, Daggers, and Lances are made 
there, which are vended all over the Indies, and that the Iron is taken out of 
a Mine near the Town, in the Mountain of Calagatch. The Town (at that 
time,) was almoft void of Inhabitants, for they were gone farther up into 
the Country, becaufe of the Brother of Sivagy^ who made inrodes to the 
verv Town. We Encamped beyond Indelvai^ and next day being the hx 
and twentieth of March, (having after four hours March paflfed over the 
pleafanteft Hills in the World, by reafon of the different kinds of Trees 
that cover them,) we arrived at Calvar which is the laft Village of the Mc- 
fuls Countrey. It is diftant from Aurangeabad, about fourfcore and three 
<cagues. which we Travelled in a fortnights time. 
The reft of the FLoad to Gokonda I fhail defcribe, when I treat of that 
Kingdom. The way from Aurangeabad, that I have been now fpeaking of, 
is diverfified by Hills and Plains : All the Plains are good Ground, lome 
fow'd with Rice, and the reft planted with Cotton-trees, Tamarins, Wars, 
Cadjours, Manguiers, ^efous, and others ^ and all Watered with feveral Ri- 
vers, which turn and wind every way, and with Tanquies alfo, out of which 
they draw the Water by Oxen : And I faw one of thefe Refervatories at 
. Dentapour, which is a Mufquet-ftiot over, and feven or eight hundred Geo- 
metrical paces long. We were incommoded during our whole Journey al- 
moft with Lightenings, Whirle-winds, Rains, and Hail-ftones, Ibme as big 
as a Pullets Egg-, and when we were troubled with none of thefe, we heard 
dullThunderingSjthat lafted whole Days and Nights. We met every where 
Troops of Horfe defigned againft Fiz,iapour, the King whereof, refufed to 
fend the Great Mogul, the Tribute which he ufed to pay to him. 
To conclude with this Province, it is to be obferved, that all the Rocks 
and Mountains I have mentioned, are only dépendances of that Mountain 
which is called Balagate, which according to the Indian Geographers, divides 
India into the two parts of North and South, as that of Guate, according to 
the fame Geographers, environs it almoft on all hands.
