Travels in the Mogul Empire (Constable) 3.14.2

- **Language:** English

### [3.14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.14.2)

It has been long tributary to the Mogol, to whom it presents annually a considerable quantity of hard cash, home-manufactured articles of exquisite workmanship, and elephants imported from Pegu, Siam, and Ceylon. There is now no fortress between Daulet-Abad and Golkonda capable of offering any resistance, and Aureng-Zebe feels confident, therefore, that a single campaign would suffice to conquer the country. In my own opinion, nothing has restrained him from attempting that conquest but the apprehension of having the Decan overrun by the King of Visapour, who knows that if he permits his neighbour to fall, his own destruction must be the necessary consequence.
