The Raja of Nagrakote obtains consideration from the Hindoos for two reasons: first, because he holds in his possession so strong a fortress as that of Nagrakote; secondly, because the celebrated temple dedicated to Doorga is within his dominions. From this source he derives a considerable revenue, on account of the pious Hindoos who come annually to make offerings there. - [Previous: 352.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.352.2) - [Next: 352.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.352.4) - [Up: 352](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.352) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.352.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.352.3) · Pramāṇa
