Storia do Mogor (Irvine) 228 - **Language:** English ### [228](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.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. - [Previous: 227](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.227) - [Next: 229](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.229) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.228](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.228) · Pramāṇa
