We took the road for Bardes once more, halting on the bank of that river. Shah 'Alam had given orders that everyone caught entering or leaving the camp at night should be beheaded without fail. This was to frighten the spies and hinder them from coming to pry about in the camp. It happened that they caught among others some Canarese who had come from Goa to sell fruit butter, et cetera, in the camp. Already they were on their way, early in the morning, to be beheaded, when my servants, hearing of this, informed me of the miserable plight of these Canarese. I therefore hurried to the prince, who was already on the march, and besought him for an order to release my people, who had carried me from Goa. He smiled and directed the release of the men for whom I had petitioned. Thus some men were released whom I had recognised to be Christians. After this we marched and climbed a mountain called Ramgat (? Ramghat), a league and a half of ascent. Here Sambha Ji might have killed the whole of us, for it was a place difficult to climb, with narrow paths passing through jungle and thorny scrub. But he did not choose to attempt it, and they said he was acting in collusion with Shah 'Alam. - [Previous: 186.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186.6) - [Next: 186.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186.8) - [Up: 186](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186.7) · Pramāṇa
