The document describes his journey to Goa, where he was instructed to remain by the governor. Despite distress, Pa Le stayed and eventually escaped through a daring climb over a fortress wall, using a hat adorned with deer horns and a crucifix for protection.

Matters that befell this King
Pa
of Ianpi
Pa Le
They paved the approach to Goa as he had promised to the head of Rogado Dector,
and although already leaving his realm, he was given a letter from the governor instructing him not to depart without his consent, nor would the governor enter if he did depart. Although much distressed, he decided to stay and sent word to the governor that either he would come to see him or fulfill what he had promised. He then received some letters which his followers knew were coming through signs indicating that he would soon arrive. Many days passed, and many warriors gathered, with several thousand men. They departed, saying that they would meet others and leave from there, mentioning other matters that were brought to his attention, which were quite mortifications. It was difficult to leave his kingdom and other matters of this difficulty, though he concealed his feelings.
He concluded the matter in a fortress from which there was no escape. Seeing himself threatened by the crowd, he took refuge in Jesus Christ, always carrying a crucifix with him. He put on a large hat and tied horns of deer to its ends, placing the cape of his cloak over the wall, and climbed down by the hat, descending by the other side of the wall. When he reached the third level, which was higher, the hat was not enough, and he fell, sustaining injuries to his forehead and leg. That night, he managed to escape alone to retrieve his weapons, which had been taken from him. He arrived at a river where a large number of people were gathered, and in danger of drowning, he ran swiftly, always holding the crucifix tied around his head. He reached a boat and crossed to the opposite shore. The Duke and those who followed him lay on the ground weeping, saying that he did not want to see them, but after arguments with the captain of the galley, he emerged outside.
