Whereas the person aforesaid deserves Royal favour and bounty, also as it appears that the property he asks for has a particular connection with him, and (as) it appeared on inquiry instituted by this High in Dignity that mountain Paresnath and the Cotee aforesaid have from a long time appertained to the (followers of the) Jain Setamburee religion, therefore the whole of the mountain and Cotee at Mudhoobun butted and bounded by four boundaries, are bestowed by the Royal Court on the aforesaid person.
