counfel of fome pety Gentile Princes, he remov'd his Camp to- ^ j
wards Agra^ as is above intimated. In which commotions, and
the death of Sultan Chojron, 5 tis not onely fufpeded that there
is fome confpiracy of Ajaf Chan and Nnrmahaly his ancient ene
mies in fecret, but alfo that the King of is of intelligence ^
with them, who about the fame time, or a little before, on his
fide made the warr of Can dab or ; in which the coldnefs which
the Moghol fotw'd, proceeded, no doubt, either from his not
being well inform'd, becaufe perhaps Nurmahal, and Afaf cha^
who were his chief Counfellors, fuffering not true intelligence
to be fignifi'd to him 5 or perhaps, becaufe the evil carriage of
SultanChorrom hath hitherto neceffitated him to ftand in fu-
Ipence. 'Tis true, the laft Advertifements from Agr^y that the
King , as I laid, fent Afaf Chan to remove the treafure from
thence, argue that the King ftill entrufts him ^ and confequent-

Chofrou left a little Son behind him,whofe name is Sultan Bulachi:

The Commendator having read the Letters from Agra, and XII,
communicated to me all the News, it being now Evening, i
took leave of him > and after fundry volleys of mulkets here- ^ y
turn'd to the City 5 and I with my company of five Coaches, ^ ^ ^
took the way of Cambata. Having travell'd two Cos, we ferri'd .
over the fame R.iver of Surat^ and then proceeded four other
Cos, which in all were fix, and at Night took up our lodging at
a Town call'd Periah : But we refted little, becaufe foon after ^
mid-night we put our felves upon the way again. Our journey j
from Surat to Cambaia, was always with our faces towards the
North. The next Morning early, we made a Collation by the
fide of a Pifcina, or Lake, which we found by the way of a long
and narrow form, of which kind there are many in thefe parts. / |
Having travell'd fixteen CV?/,which was from Surht in all two and ^.
twenty, before Evening wearriv'd at the City of Barocci y or yj£.6*-,
Behrug, as they call it in Perfian 5 under the walls whereof, on / •
the South fide runs a River call'd Nerheda, which vve ferri'd over.
The City is encompafs'd with a wall of moderate bignefi, built
high upon a rifing hill. For the circuit 'tis populous enough, as
generally are all the parts of India* 'Tis confiderable for a very
great Trade of fine Cotton Cloth, or Callico, made more plenti
fully there then in other places^ and difpers'd not onely through
