Storia do Mogor 228: Aurangabad.

228

In this province much white cloth and silk stuffs are produced. Aurangzeb founded the chief town as a memorial to himself when he was only a prince. Formerly a strong garrison of cavalry was kept there, because it was on the Bijapur and Gulkandah frontiers, and near the territory of Shiva Ji. But nowadays there are only a few men, as the rest are engaged in the war against Shiva Ji [i.e., the Mahrattahs]. Aurangabad is at nineteen degrees twenty-five minutes of latitude, and one hundred and twenty degrees twenty-five minutes of longitude.
