Their reason for the capture was the absence of a Portuguese passport, and therefore they only liberated some females who were going to Mecca on pilgrimage. When the news reached Aurangzeb he issued orders to the general Cotopcam (Qutb Khān) to make raids in the neighbourhood of Daman and Bassain. He carried out the orders of Aurangzeb so exactly that after invading the territories of Daman and Bassain, he was not content with sacking them, but put them entirely to fire and sword. In this way Aurangzeb took vengeance for the injuries that he asserted he had received from the Portuguese when they attacked the Arab ships In the port of Surat. The Viceroy of Goa, when he saw all this destruction, wrote to the Father Rector of Agrah that in the guise of an envoy he should repair to the court and make efforts to negotiate peace. The father willingly undertook the task; but to this hour he has been unable to conclude the business, although actually present in the royal camp, suffering much hardship, both from the marchings and the dearth of food. - [Previous: 344.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.4) - [Next: 344.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.6) - [Up: 344.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.5) · Pramāṇa
