Summary
How, after the departure of the ambassador of the King of Narsinga, another ambassador came from the Hidalcão to treat for peace and the trade in horses, and yet another from the Hidalcão's mother, who came to hasten forward the matter: and what Afonso Dalboquerque did thereupon.
The Hidalcão, knowing that the King of Narsinga had sent his ambassadors to the great Afonso Dalboquerque, and that he was making preparations with a large force to invade his territory and make war upon him, fearing lest Afonso Dalboquerque and the king should strike up a bargain about the horse trade, which was the principal spring of his defensive policy, sent a messenger with letters addressed to his ambassador, who had been in Goa for several days past (for he had come with Diog-o Fernandez, the Adail, and João Teixeira, as I have already related, whom Afonso Dalboquerque had sent there, and they returned without coming to any definite conclusion), to hasten forward the matter more than ever, and to declare to him that, since it had been agreed between them that as long as they maintained the treaty of peace, he would not prevent the coming of the Moorish ships with their merchandise to Dabul, he begged him of his kindness to give orders for the punishment of his captains, because, in contravention of the terms agreed upon between them, they were capturing every ship bound for Dabul; for he on his part desired (as he had oftentimes sent word to him through his ambassadors) to maintain a state of peace and friendship with the King of Portugal, and to arrange the trade in horses, and they ought not to take away these [horses] to give them to the King of Narsinga.
