He owes his preservation less to the strength of his arms than to many peculiar circumstances. His kingdom is at a great distance from Agra and Dehli, the Mogol's usual places of residence; the capital city, called also Visapour, is strong, and not easily accessible to an invading army, because of the bad water and scarcity of forage in the surrounding country; and several Rajas for the sake of mutual security join him, when attacked, with their forces. The celebrated Seva-Gi not long ago made a seasonable diversion in his favour, by plundering and burning the rich seaport of Sourate. There is again the wealthy and powerful King of Golkonda, who secretly supplies the King of Visapour with money, and constantly keeps an army on the frontiers, with the double object of defending his own territories and aiding Visapour in the event of that country being closely pressed. - [Previous: 4.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.2.2) - [Next: 4.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.2.4) - [Up: 4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.2.3) · Pramāṇa
