To this they replied briefly that when the king asked the question they would give an answer. In this way the affair dropped. Let us return once more to an enquiry into the doings of the Mahrattahs. In this year of 1704, in the month of \[160\] January, they crossed the Narbada river, penetrated the forests of Mandu, plundering and ravaging several provinces, as well as the town of Sironj. Not content even with this, they went farther, and going through the hill-passes of Narwar, they entered the province of Calabad (Kalpi), close to the Gwaliyar fortress, a three days' journey from Agrah. They traversed other provinces, doing everywhere a great deal of damage. In this way they returned to their own country without anyone being able to interfere with them. These forays are of great profit to Shiva Ji, in addition to his soldiers' booty. For as soon as they enter the Mogul's dominions, that sovereign's governors send men to offer them a large sum of money: if they think fit, they take it; if not, they burn and destroy in all directions. The Mahrattah ruler is at this time very powerful; he has under him over one hundred thousand horsemen. This is the reason he ventures to test the valour of and to defy the Mogul; and what this old man used to do formerly to other kings and princes the Mahrattah does nowadays to him. - [Previous: 335.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.3.8) - [Next: 335.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.4.2) - [Up: 335.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.4.1) · Pramāṇa
