this victory induced the king of Candy[433] to sue
for peace, sending by his ambassadors 32 Portuguese
who had been made prisoners during the war. The
terms agreed upon were, that he was to repair and
restore the fort at Balane, and permit another to
be constructed at Candy, and was to deliver yearly
as tribute to the crown of Portugal four elephants
and a certain stipulated quantity of cinnamon.
Finding afterwards that the Portuguese affairs in
Ceylon were less prosperous, he receded from these
conditions and would only agree to give two elephants
as the yearly tribute, but the peace was concluded.
[Footnote 433: In the translation of the Portuguese Asia, this sovereign is here named Anaras Pandar king of Pandar; but from every circumstance in the context it appears that we ought to read Anaras Pandar king of Candy.—E.]
