In 1728 or 1729 we are told⁷ that Jai Singh sent Father Figueredo, a Portuguese Jesuit, to Portugal. Also the same records relate that on January 6th, 1734, two priests set out from Chandernagore to Jaipur,⁸ at Jai Singh’s request. The account⁹ of the astronomical work done by these two priests at Jaipur and on their journey was written, according to M. D’Anville,¹⁰ by Father Boudier, one of the priests who made the journey. - [Previous: c4.s2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.kaye-1918.c4.s2.3) - [Next: c4.s2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.kaye-1918.c4.s2.5) - [Up: c4.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.kaye-1918.c4.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.kaye-1918.c4.s2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.kaye-1918.c4.s2.4) · Pramāṇa
