He therefore corresponded with the generals of that realm, sending them large gifts and presents in the hope that they might rebel against their king and come over to his army. Among those who consented to Aurangzeb's proposals was Abdul Aquim ('Abd-ul-hakim). This man, knowing by experience the bravery of the Goa Portuguese, for they had defeated him, counselled Aurangzeb to make friends with those Europeans. If they continued their hostilities, Sambha Ji would be forced to keep two armies in the field, one in the direction of the Dakhin, the other opposed to the Portuguese. Thus it would be more easy to stop him from plundering in all directions. - [Previous: 177.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.177.8) - [Next: 177.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.177.10) - [Up: 177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.177) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.177.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.177.9) · Pramāṇa
