Dr. Dellon, a French physician visiting Goa, wrote, “This Sevaji is a most Potent Prince. He has managed his affairs with much Prudence as to have Established himself, in spite of his Enemies, in all these Territories and has made himself so Dreadful to his Neighbours as to have made the city of Goa Tremble at his Approach. His Subjects are Pagans like himself. But he tolerates all Religions.”84
