[81] Here follow some nautical expressions which I do not understand. [82] Perhaps meant for Manglaus, Menglaur, in the District of Sahranpur. [83] Somenat Somnath, a town in the south of the peninsula of Kathiawar, also the name of the District. [84] More correctly Diu, an island belonging to the Portuguese in West India, separated from Kathiawar by a narrow stroke of land, with about 13,000 inhabitants, and politically under Goa. (See "Imperial Gazetteer of India," IV., p. 305.) [85] Daman, a Portuguese possession in the bay of Cambay, with about 50,000 inhabitants; was pillaged first in the year 1531, and retaken in 1553. [86] Compare the Persian _badzed_, "whirlwind," "tempest"; more correctly "gust of wind," from _Bad_, "wind," and _Zeden_, "to strike." [87] In the text _Djonk_, "a large ship," used principally in China. First mentioned by the Monk Odorico di Pordenone in 1331. [88] Compare "dingy," "dinghy." Literally, the name of a ship or large boat, on the coast of Mekran; the word is also known in English, but it originates from Beluchistan. Correctly speaking, it means a pilot-ship. [89] _Kotwal, kutwal_, "commander of a fortress," also "policeman". Of Turkish origin, from the word kut, "to guard," "to watch"; would be more correctly, _kuteol_, meaning "guardian." [90] _Cheter Kaldirmak_ means, literally, "to raise the sunshade" (umbrella), this being the symbol of sovereignty in India. [91] More correctly Broatsh, a place northwest of Surat, in the province of Gujarat, on the right bank of the Nerbudda. This place has from time immemorial belonged to the Moslem rulers of Ahmedabad, and has twice been pillaged by the Portuguese (in 1536 and 1546). [92] In the text, _Provador_, meaning "Admiral." [93] Ahmedabad, the chief town of the Province of that name, 310 miles north of Bombay. [94] More correctly Balotra, a town in Jodpur (Radjhputana). [95] Champanir, a mountain fortress in Gujarat, in the Province of Pendj-Mahal, 250 miles northeast of Bombay. [96] Compare Tuba-tree, with the Sidra-trees of the Mohammedan paradise. [97] _Zokum_, a tree which, according to the Koran, grows only in hell. Its fruit resembles the plantain and serves as food for the condemned. [98] At present there is only a place of that name known in Oudh, but not in Gujarat. [99] _Bir Katar deve_, "a team of camels." _Katar_, "team," means "ten camels." [100] Very characteristic is the piece of poetry here introduced. It is probably a Turkish sea-song of that time. It says: "We roam the waters far and wide, And bring confusion upon our enemies; Revenge and hatred is our motto, For we are Khairreddin's troops." (Khairreddin Pasha was Suleiman's renowned Admiral, known in Europe as Barbarossa.) [101] In the text _Bami_ may possibly be a slip of the pen and intended for "Brahmin."
