What’s the meaning of “lay traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay”?

Answered in this thread, but I wanted to look up the lyrics and these were the top two returns:

Sympathy for the Devil (Rolling Stones) lyrics question

Rolling Stones fans/experts/historians… We’ve all heard the song a million times, but I actually checked out the lyrics for the first time at my wife’s urging. The Devil is listing off the historical events he has witnessed/participated/presided over and includes: “…I lay traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay…” I understand the troubadours were French medieval romantic poets/songwriters who had no interest in travel/exploration/searching for riches etc in India at al…

What's behind the lyrics to the Rolling Stones' 'Sympathy for the Devil'?

Ok, so I understand most of the lyrics. You have mention of Jesus on the cross, and of the execution of the Russian czar and family, and the deaths of the Kennedies. But then you have a line that goes: What does that refer to?
