It will be noticed that the places named are nearly all north of Bombay, and although this account is probably not altogether reliable in some of its details, it may safely be assumed that the Northern Konkan generally was at that time subject to Gujarát. Ludovico Varthema who travelled in India in 1503 has his ports on the West Coast so misplaced and confused that they are often hard to identify, but he went from Cambay to Cheul and says: "the land of Gujarát is interposed between these two cities,"¹ which is in accordance with the other authorities given above. - [Previous: c7.s6.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s6.22) - [Next: c7.s6.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s6.24) - [Up: c7.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s6.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s6.23) · Pramāṇa
