1Courageous in Manner
Sultan Muhammad, being comforted by the favour of remembrance2 ,
know that recently from the declaration of the servant of
Wazir Khan,
2
Ahmad Beg Khan, and from the contents of the ʿarz of
Purshottam [Das]
chaudhri of
Dhar, it became known that the said chaudhri and the chaudhri
3of
Nalcha
delivered the money for the security of the chaudhri of
Amjhera,
except for the money that they have claimed for the surety of the
chaudhri of
Kanpil [Kampel].
4And from that total amount, a little [money] is due, and hence it is written that
that which is the share of the chaudhri
5of
Dhar – that is,
Purshottam – is outstanding from him. Until the last dam for this amount has been
deposited, he should
6bring himself to the Lord. And for procuring the money that they have claimed
from the chaudhri of
Kanpil [Kampel], let there be no obstruction
7 so that we will summon the chaudhri of
Kanpil [Kampel]
to our presence and decide this matter in accordance with the law.
8Execute [it] as written. And let the remaining sum for the share of the chaudhri of
Dhar
and
Nalcha
until the [last] dam be brought and deposited.
9Know this matter as settled. Written on the date of
27 Muharram the Holy, [regnal] year 9.
