BALAGATE, a province of Hindostan, and the largest of the three that compose the kingdom of Dekkan. It has Kandish and Barar to the north, Tellinga to the east, Baglana with part of Guzerat to the west, and Visiapour to the south. It is a fruitful and pleasant country, abounding with cotton and sugar. Here they have sheep without horns; but so strong, that when bridled and saddled they will carry boys of ten years of age. Its present capital is Aurangabad, but formerly was Dowlet-Abad; and from the latter the whole province is sometimes called Dowlet-Abad.
