Storia do Mogor (Irvine) 218 - **Language:** English ### [218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.218) In this province there is made a prodigious quantity of gold and silver cloth, and of flowered silks. These goods are in demand in all the courts throughout the empire. They also make much gold and silver work, and a quantity of jewellery set with stones. The dealers who give the orders for this class of work go themselves, or send agents to the diamond mines, to the kingdom of Pegu, to the Pescaria coast (Fisherman's Coast), and other places, to buy the precious stones they require. All these merchants are Hindu by religion, and are called Gujaratis. Their persons are well made, and their women always smothered in jewellery. The country is fertile in cereals; it was conquered by King Akbar from Sultan Bahadur. Usually a garrison of ten thousand cavalry is kept there. The capital town lies in twenty-three degrees of latitude, and one hundred and sixteen degrees thirty minutes of longitude. - [Previous: 217](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.217) - [Next: 219](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.219) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.218) · Pramāṇa
