133. *Vida e accoens do famoso e felicissimo Sevagy* escrita por Cosme de Guarda, natural de Murmugao. (Lisbon, 1730.) Composed in 1695 (p. 40.) Contains 168 pages. Full of gross inaccuracies, mistakes of persons, useless digressions, bazar gossip and things known to us from other sources. It may more properly be styled 'The marvellous romance of Shivaji,' as it contains a minimum of facts dates and proper names and a maximum of words and general descriptions. It tells us nothing new that is historically true. C. da Guarda was not the real author's name.
