[408] -- PATECA, something worn round the neck. There appears to be some mistake here, as PATECA means "a sort of long robe or gown (worn) in India" (Michaelis' Dict.). [409] -- Varthema says, "The king wears a cap of gold brocade two spans long." This was Krishna Deva's predecessor, Narasimha. [410] -- This may refer to the handsome temple of Anantasayana, a mile or so from Hospett on the road to Kamalapur. The trees still stand in parts. [411] -- FORTALEZAS. Probably the writer refers either to bastions or towers, or to strongly fortified places of refuge on the hilltops. The passage is obscure. [412] -- Four words, TEMDES HUA PORTA PRIMCIPAL, have been accidentally omitted in the printed copy. [413] -- TERREIRO. The gateway here spoken of is most probably the great entrance to the palace enclosure, just to the north of the village of Kamalapur. [414] -- The writer forgot to fulfil this promise. [415] -- POR QUE SAO COMO AS COMFRARYAS que NAS NOSSAS PARTES HAA. [416] -- A MUYTOS NATURAES DA TERRA. [417] -- MUNGUO. "Moong ... green gram ... a kind of vetch" (Yule and Burnell, Dict.). [418] -- MACHARUY. [419] -- A VINTEM = 1 7/20 of a penny. [420] -- Probably for FANAOS. But the plural of FANAO is usually given as FANOES. [421] -- ESTARNA. "A sort of small partridge with black feet" (Michaelis' Dict.). [422] -- Here we have the plural FANOEES. [423] -- Povos is a place near Lisbon. [424] -- Anegundi. [425] -- Below, pp. 292, 293. [426] -- The stone bridge, built on rows of rough monolithic uprights, the remains of which are still to be seen near the temple of Vitthalasvami, appears, from the absence of allusion to it, to have been constructed at a later date. [427] -- This clearly alludes to the beautifully sculptured temple of Vitthalasvami, which is in the situation described. [428] -- This word is a puzzle. If the temple be, as seems most probable from the description, the principal temple at Hampe, still in use, I suggest that AOPE represents "Hampi" or "Hampe." RADI may be "rajah," or RADIAN may be "rajyam." The name was perhaps given to Paes by some one who described it as "the royal Hampe temple" and this would accurately describe it. It was dedicated to Virupaksha, and was the cathedral of the great city. [429] -- The word used is ROMEYRA, which may mean either a pomegranate tree or a female pilgrim. The allusion is to the plaster figures and designs on the tower (CORUCHEO) above the gate. [430] -- CINZEYRO apparently means a place for ashes (CINZA). CINZAS are "ashes of the dead." The reference may be to a place in a church where incense-burners are kept, or, as I think, equally well to the crypt, and this last sense seems better to suit the context. [431] -- SEUS for SEIS. [432] -- The word is omitted in the original. [433] -- BREDOS. See above, pp. 227, 245, notes. [434] -- For a discussion as to the dates given in Paes, see p. 140 ff. above.
