Sen) 30 - **Language:** English ### [30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.30) S. D. \[174\] The Maharaja entertained a strong desire for possessing Janjira, and he made what attempts he could, but the fort could not be captured. Then he began to fast before the sea. For seven days he fasted, and the sea was pleased, and made the following communication in a dream, — "Janjira will not fall into your hands. Do not allow yourself to be possessed by this idea (of capturing Janjira). In its lieu I will give you another place in the sea, equal in strength to Janjira. Build a fort there. That fort will not fall into the hands of your enemy unless you abandon it. If any war takes place I will punish your enemy. In three years, property to the amount of three lakhs of Rupees will come to your house, hoard that." Thereupon the Maharaja got up and saw that, water had suddenly subsided and rocks appeared where formerly there was unfathomable water, and an island was seen, six cosses in length and breadth and about ten to twenty cubits above the sea level. \* \* At that place a fort was built and it was called Malavan. - [Previous: 29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.29) - [Next: 31.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.31.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.30) · Pramāṇa
