From another Bombay letter we learn that Shivaji’s grand fleet assembled at ‘Nagaum a towne hard by Tull’. The place, therefore, must be Nagaon in Kolaba district which is only three miles from Alibag and only six miles from Thal. It is still a large and rich coastal village, and in 1790 Ahalya Bai built a temple here (\*Bombay Gazetteer\*, Kolaba, p. 351). Nandgaon, which lies about four miles, and not ten miles, as Prof. Sarkar thinks, north of Janjira, cannot by the widest stretch of imagination be described as a ‘towne hard by Tull’. It is, moreover, too near Janjira to be the starting place of an important expedition. - [Previous: c14.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c14.51) - [Next: c14.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c14.53) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c14.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c14.52) · Pramāṇa
