He promised the rajah that he would so manage that the viceroy of Goa should give aid to the Moguls in the acquisition of Bījāpur. Over and over again I told the padre that it was not a good thing to enter into such matters, that he had much better withdraw to Goa. For the King of Bījāpur was a better neighbour to the Portuguese than the Mogul king would ever be. The latter, having conquered Bījāpur, would next try to take Goa. The padre was not pleased with my views, and complained to the rajah, so that the rajah said to me one day, without giving a reason, that I should avoid meeting the padre. After the business had been settled, I received from the Portuguese a certificate signed by Ignacio Sermento, wherein he swore on the Holy Evangelists that I had done a great service to the Crown of Portugal. - [Previous: 122.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122.3) - [Next: 122.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122.5) - [Up: 122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122.4) · Pramāṇa
