_Badagare._ There are two places of this name: the first lies in
_Madura_, and sends merchandise to the coast of Malabar. It has
a Christian church, and is situated close to the large forests
at the foot of the _Gauts_, where wild elephants are found in
great abundance. The second is called also _Vaypin_, and lies
on the sea-coast to the north of _Cochin_. 56, 125, 137.
_Badeati_, lies eastward from _Diamper_ and _Cochin_, and was
formerly the residence of the court of _Travancor_. It is
called also in the English maps, by Rennel and by La Rochette,
_Barrate_. 123.
_Balancada_, a fortress in the kingdom of _Carnate_, which, like a
great many others, is of a square form. 63.
_Baliapatnam_, one of the rivers in the district of _Calicut_, on the
Malabar coast, which take their rise in the _Gauts_, and form
an innumerable multitude of islands. A city also near Mount
_Illy_, on the above river, has the same name. 104.

a temple, to the south of _Culam_ or _Collam_. 115.

ancients, has a celebrated temple, a Brahmanic academy or

is strongly fortified, and its name signifies the white land.

became subject to the Great Mogul, and belonged to the district
of _Sanor_. It was afterwards conquered by Hayder Ali. It was
called also _Narasinha_. 63.
_Bombay_, an English colony in an island to the north of Goa. It has
an excellent harbour, and is the seat of a presidency. 107, 114.
