After a lapse of three days, the Çodamacão sent word to Diogo Fernandez and James Teixeira, that they were to go and take their leave of the king, for he had already drawn up their despatch; and just as they were ready to go, Melique Coadragui came up with a large body of mounted men, as they had done at first, and entering the Palace all of them were presented with cabaias, which they put on, and daggers and swordbelts, with which they girdled themselves, and in this manner they proceeded to kiss the king's hands, and he told them that they must look to Çodamacão, for he would deliver the despatch to them, speaking at the same time words of friendship, which they were to repeat on his behalf to Afonso Dalboquerque. Being thus despatched, they visited Çodamacão at his house, and he handed over to them a letter from the king for Afonso Dalboquerque, and gave them a present of Cambay productions, and a certain animal because it was a monstrous thing, never before beheld in those parts. This creature was in Champanel, and he intended to forward it for them to Çurrate. And when they had thus received their despatch from the Çodatnacão, they took their leave of him, and went home to their house, where there were already prepared for them waggons and horses; and thence they set out on their journey, reaching Çurrate on the eighth day of the month of May.
