" Jainism has produced in Gujarat in the course of centuries many distinguished religious guides and teachers whose names are held in high reverence by the community. But among its temporal magnates there is no name which can equal that of Shantidas Jawahari, who is said to have received, according to an old historical tradition, the title of Nagarsheth or 'Lord Mayor' of Ahmedabad in the early years of the seventeenth century. Without any connection with the official nobility of the Mughal Empire, Shantidas was able to exercise, by virtue of his business connections and his vast riches, an influence at the court of successive Mughal Emperors from the time of Jahangir to the accession of Aurangzeb which must have been envied by many an exalted amir or mansabdar of the Empire." --Studies in the History of Gujarat, p. 53. arthAta "jainadharma, sadIo daramyAna, ghaNA viziSTa dhArmika mArgadarzaka ane dharmaguruone utpanna karyA che; ane jaina kema emanA pratye khUba Adara dharAve che. paNa enA gRhastha mahApuraSomAM evI koI vyakti nathI thaI ke je zAMtidAsa jhaverInI barAbarI karI zake. jUnI etihAsika mAnyatA pramANe, sattaramI sadInI zarUAtamAM, emane amadAvAdanA nagarazeTha athavA "meyara"ne khitAba maLyuM hatuM, megala sAmrAjyanA adhikArI umarA 12 Page #137 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 3 zeTha AvakanI peDhInA itihAsa sAthe kAI paNa jAtanA saMbaMdha na heAvA chatAM, zAMtidAsa, peAtAnA vyApArI saMbaMdhA ane peAtAnI vizALa saMpattinA kAraNe, jahAMgIrathI laine auraMgajheba sudhInA eka pachI eka megala bAdazAheAnA darabAramAM potAne prabhAva pADI zakayA hatA, ke jenI sAmrAjyamAM UMce darajjo dharAvatA ghaNA amIrA athavA manasabadArAne adekhAI AvI hAvI joIe." ~~~sTaDIjha ina dhI hisTarI opha gujarAta, pR0 53. zrI ema. esa. kAmiseriyeTa uparanA phakarAmAM nagarazeTha zrI zAMtidAsa jhaverI meAgala bAzAhe upara kevA prabhAva dharAvatA hatA tenuM TUMkamAM, paNa je sacoTa ane bardU jevuM varNana karyuM che, temAM rahela vAstavikatAnuM darzana karAvatI, teoe badhAvela zrI ciMtAmaNi pArzvanAthanA derAsaranI bhavya ane karuNa kathA khAsa jANavA jevI hAI ahIM e TUMkamAM rajU karavI ucita che-- nagarazeTha zrI zAMtidAsa jhaverIne zrI ciMtAmaNi pArzvanAtha upara khUba AsthA hatI, kAraNa ke, eka daMtakathA pramANe, sUratamAM, eka sAdhu munirAje potAnA zAMtidAsa nAmanA bhaktane mATe sAdhela ciMtAmaNi pArzvanAthanA maMtra, akasmAta ane sAva aNudhArI rIte, amadAvAdanA A zAMtidAsane prApta thayA hatA ane enA pratApe tee aDhaLaka saMpatti meLavI zakayA hatA. eTale jyAre emanA meTAbhAI zrI vardhamAna zeTha tathA emaNe pote kAika dharmanuM evuM kAma karavAne vicAra karyA ke jethI potAnuM jIvana tathA dhana kRtArtha thAya ane sAthe sAthe enAthI saMdhane paNa hamezAM lAbha thatA rahe tyAre, A bAbatamAM zuM karavuM e saMbadhIvicAra karIne, chevaTe, emaNe amadAvAdamAM zrI ciMtAmaNi pArzvanAthanuM khUba vizALa ane bhavya jinAlaya baMdhAvavAnuM nakkI karyuM; ane e mATe bAdazAha jahAMgIra pAsethI jamIna paNa meLavI lIdhI.

All round the temple there is a cloister furnished with lovely cells, beautified with figures of marble in relief, representing naked women sitting after the oriental fashion. The inside roof of the mosque is pretty enough and the walls are full of the figures of men and beasts; but Aurangzeb, who hath always made a show of an affected devotion, which at length raised him to the throne, caused the noses of all these figures, which added a great deal of magnificence to that mosque, to be beat off." ---Studies in the History of Gujarat, p. 57. arthAta-" amadAvAdamAM dhaNu mUrtipUjaka (yahUdI, khristI ane islAma dharmathI judA dharmanA anuyAyIo) paNa vasatA hevAthI emAM pegaDA ke mUtiovALAM maMdire che. emAM, je maMdira zAMtidAsanA maMdira tarIke oLakhAtuM hatuM te, auraMgajhebe ene marijadamAM pheravI nAkhyuM te pahelAM, badhAMmAM mukhya hatuM. jyAre eNe A vidhi karyo tyAre eNe e sthAnamAM eka gAyanI katala karAvI hatI, kAraNa ke, e barAbara jANatA hatA ke, AvuM kRtya karyA pachI e anAryo (jaina), emanA niyama mujaba, emAM pUjA nahIM karI zake. maMdiranI cAre bAju suMdara eAraDIe (darI) dharAvatA maTha (eka) hatA. ane ArasanI kalAkatiothI e derIo zobhAyamAna lAgatI hatI.

The road from Palithana to the foot of the mount is through an avenue of noble Burr trees, affording a sanctified shade to the vast concourse which flocks to worship (p. 281 ). ... ... We now approached the holy of holies, by a considerable flight of steps, leading through an archway, called the portal of Pundaric, which brought us in front of the shrine of Adnath (p. 284 ). .... Page #147 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 400 zeTha A0 karanI peDhIne itihAsa Although the shrine of Adnath is an imposing edifice, it possesses none of the architectural beauty of the shrines of Aboo, either in form of material. The sanctum is a large square chamber, with a vaulted roof; a SOWA-MUNDUFF, or external vestibul, likewise vaulted. The statue of the god, of colossal size, is of pure white marble, and in the usual sitting, contemplative postur, the hands and legs crossed (p. 285). ... ... On particular festivals, immense bodies of pilgrims pour into the peninsula from every part of India. These congregations are termed SUNGS, and sometimes amount to twenty thousands. (p. 296). -Travels In Western India. 34. Street after street, and square after square extend these shrines of the Jaina faith, with their stately enclosures, half palace, half fortrees, raised in marble magnificence, upon the lonely and majestic mountain, and, like mansions of another world, far removed in upper air from the ordinary tread of mortals. In the dark recesses of each temple, one image or more of Adinatha, of Ajita, or of some other of the Tirthankaras, is seated, whose alabaster features, wearing an expression of listless repose, are rendered dimly visible by the faint light shed from silver lamps; incense perfumes the air, and barefooted, with noiseless tread, upon the polished floors, the female votaries, glittering in scarlet and gold, move round and round in circles, chanting forth their monotonous, but not unmelodious, hymns. Satrunjaya indeed might fitly represent one of the fancied hills of eastern romance, the inhabitants of which have been instantaneously changed into marble, but which fairy hands are ever employed upon, burning perfumes, and keeping all clean and brilliant, while fairy voices haunt the air in these voluptuous praises of the Devas. ... ... Shutroonjye is one of the most ancient and most sacred shrines of the Jain religion. It is described as the first of places of pilgrimage, the bridal hall of those who would marry everlasting rest: like our own sacred Iona, it is not destined to be destroyed even at the end of the world, -Forbes, Ras Mala, Vol. I, pp. 7, 8.

The fashionable shrine, on which at the present day the greatest amount of wealth is lavished. It is now being covered with new temples and shrines which rival the old buildings not only in splendour, but in the beauty and delicacy of their details, and altogether form one of the most remarkable groups to be found anywhere-the more remarkable, if we consider that the bulk of them were erected within the limits of the present century. To the philosophical student of architecture it is one of the most interesting spots on the face of the globe, inasmuch as he can there see the various processes by which cathedrals were produced in the middle ages, carried on on a larger scale then anywhere else, and in a more natural manner. It is by watching the methods still followed in designing buildings in that remote locality that we become aware how it is that the uncultivated Hindu can rise in architecture to a degree of originality and perfection which has not been attained in Europe since the middle ages. --History of Architecture ( ed. 1867), vol. II, pp. 630, 632. The grouping together of their temples into what may be called " Cities of Temples" is a peculiarity which the Jains have practised to a greater extent than the followers of any other religion in India. ... Neither of these religions, however, possess such a group of temples, for instance, as that at Satrunjaya, or Palitana. ... ... It is a city of the gods, and meant for them only, and not intended for the use of mortals. ... ... All these peculiarities are found in a more marked degree at Palitana than at almost any other known place, and, fortunately for the student of the style, extending over a considerable period of time. Some of the temples may be as old as the 11th century, but the Moslim invaders of 14th and 15th centuries made sad havoc of all the older shrines, and we have only fragments of a few of them. ... ... Among the Satrunjaya temples there is every variety of form and structure, and a monograph on this group, fully illustrated, would be of great architectural, antiquarian, and mythological interest. ... ... The Page #149 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 102 zeTha A0 kanI peDhInA itihAsa great temple is an imposing two storeyed building with a lofty spire, and with its base surrounded by many small shrines. -History of Indian and Eastern Architecture, Vol. II, 24-28. 33. The view that presents itself from this point may well arrest the attention. It is magnificent in extent; a splendid setting for the unique picture this work of human toil we have reached. But apart from the poetical exaggeration of this, it is truly a wonderful-a unique place-a city of temples,-for, except a few tanks, there is nothing else within the gates. Through court beyond court the visitor proceeds over smooth pavements of grey chunam, visiting temple after temple-most of them built of stone quarried near Gopnath, but a few of marble;-all elaborately sculptured, and some of striking proportions. And, as he passes along, the glassy-eyed images of pure white marble, seem to peer out at him from hundreds of cloister cells. Such a place is surely without a match in the world: and there is a cleanliness withal about every square and passage, porch and hall, that is itself no mean source of pleasure. The silence too, except at festival seasons, is striking; now and then in the morning you hear a bell for a few seconds, or the beating of a drum for a short a time, and on holidays, chaunts from the larger temples meet your ear, but generally during the after part of the day the only sounds are those of vast flocks of pigeons that rush about spasmodically from the roof of one temple to that of another. Parroquets and squirrels, doves and ringdoves, and peacock are occasionally met with on the outer walls. -Satrunjaya And Its Temples, pp. 18-19. 38. These tops, with the intervening valley, now covered with hundreds of temples of all sizes and designs, might almost be described as a sacred city in mid air. ...... The one thing that removes this collection of temples from others of its kind, as found in the cities of the plains, is the total absence of dwellings of any kind, not only among the temples but anywhere upon the hill. Everyday life, which is so wedded to all collections of sacred buildings ...

Tennyson might almost have had it in mind when he wrote: And I rodo on and found a mighty hill, And on the top a city walled: the spires Prick'd with incredible pinnacles into heaven.' -Archaeological Survey of India, (Somanatha and other mediaeval Temples in Kathiawad) (Ed. 1931) pp. 73-74.

(pR0 105) (We have been told fairly emphatically by Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai in Ahmedabad, the Acharyas of the Jain community and various other persons, who also placed before us books and authorities on the various aspects pertaining to Jain philosophy and religion, that the Jains do not have any Mahant in charge of religious institutions in order to do anything corresponding to the Shebaits of Hindu temples and that, as a matter of fact, their Acharyas do not own any property or accept any offerings, personal or otherwise, and that Jain devotees do not make any cash offerings or rituals to the diety but only make offerings of flowers. "Jain scriptures have made meticulous rules and regulations for the utilization of funds and management of the trusts. In respect of religious funds Jain Shastras enunciate seven types of funds called "Sat Kshetras " and also dictate the uses to which each type of fund could be put." pp. 103-104)... ... ("It is very relevant to note in this connection that the funds . donated to one Kshetra cannot be utilized for another Kshetra. Even in the same Kshetra, funds allocated for a particular purpose can be utilized only for that purpose and for no other. Thus, the donations earmarked for beggars cannot be utilized for giving grass to cattle or grain to pigeons, though both are charitable objects." p. 105 )...... ("The guiding principle in the utilization of funds of a particular Kshetra is the special religious merit. The person receiving the benefit of the funds is a secondary consideration. Thus, the fund for one place or for particular group of persons can be used for another place and for another persons anywhere in the world but for the same identical object." p. 105) Page #232 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ peDhI ane pAlItANuM rAjya dhArmika hakko ane hitenI jALavaNI khUba jAgrata ane javAbadArIbharI kAmagIrInI apekSA rAkhe che; kAraNa ke, eka daSTie joIe to, dharmakSetra e saukeInuM gaNAya che, ane saukoInI bhakti ane javAbadArIbharI kAmagIrI mAgI le evuM vizALa kSetra che; ane, bIjI rIte joIe te, ghaNI vAra te, je saukeInuM e, kharI rIte, vyavahAramAM ane aTapaTI javAbadArI adA karatI vakhate, keInuM nahIM athavA enuM keI dhaNIdherI nahI, evI zocanIya sthiti paNa jovA maLe che. ane jyAM ane jyAre dharmakSetramAM AvI zocanIya ane javAbadArInA khyAla vagaranI sthiti pravartatI hoya, tyAM ane tyAre dharmanI vyApaka prabhAvanA karI zake ane mAnavasamUhanA kalyANa ane uddhAramAM upakAra banI zake, evAM maMgalakArI hakako ane hite paNa jokhamAI gayA vagara rahetAM nathI - bhale pachI e hako ne hite sAmAnya devasthAnane lagatAM hoya, vidhividhAnane sparzatAM hoya, meLA-mahetsa saMbaMdhI hoya, yAtrAsaMghe aMgenAM hoya ke nAnAM yA moTAM tIrtha sthAne ane enA yAtrinA cogakSema sAthe saMbaMdha dharAvatAM hoya. - jyAM ane jyAre paNa dharmakSetranI saMbhALa rAkhanAra vyavasthAtaMtra avyavasthita, nabaLuM ke prabhAva yA vaga vagaranuM banI jAya che, tyAM ane tyAre dharmakSetrane hAni pahoMcyA vagara rahetI nathI. ane dharmakSetranI hAni eTale enAM hakako ane hitenI hAninI sAthe sAthe dharmabhAvanAzIla bhAvika jananI dhamakaraNImAM ane zraddhA-bhaktimAM bAdhA. dhI sagI janA dharmArAdhanamAM avarodha AvavA na pAme ane teo nirAMte, zAMtithI ane ullAsathI pitAnI dharmakriyAo karI zake, eTalA mATe dharmakSetranI arthAt dhArmika hakako ane hitenI sAcavaNI karanAra vyavasthAtaMtra suvyavasthita, zuddha ane zaktizALI hoya e khUba jarUrI che. jaina zvetAMbara mUrtipUjaka saMghanAM ane dharmanAM ane vizeSa karIne enI pAvanakArI. keTalIka prAcIna-arvAcIna tIrthabhUmionAM hite ane hakko, chellA keTalAka saikAothI, sArI rIte rakSaNa pAmI zakayAM che ene, moTA bhAgane, yaza zeTha ANaMdajI kalyANajInI peDhIne ghaTe che; tema ja evI rItanI kAmagIrI bajAvatI ApaNA zrIsaMghanI bIjI keTalIka saMsthAone paNa emAM noMdhapAtra phALe che.

His evidence is important, because he produced the document which it is contended is a forgery. So we give his evidence in full, simply remarking that the production by a witness in whose possession it had only been fot six days, the non-appearance of the person in whose possession the document had previously been, and the non-production of Joctaram's letter, are circumstances of suspicion sufficient to throw grave doubts on the genuineness of the document." f. 241 &falqox hal 191.2491a fal. 3031737 241 4HQ APREL 241721 sat "68. I come now to the document Z (27). It was produced by the witness Motiji (32), a Jati of Porbandar. He deposed that he had brought the document from Dharnand Suri, a Jain Acharya. " 69. The learned counsel for the Thakore impugned its genuineness on the ground that it was produced at a late stage in the case. The Shravuks replied that it was only lately that they heard where the document was. This is possible. It was also contended that the ink looked too black for such an old document. The ink is dark; but it does not follow that, because a document is old, the ink must have faded. " 70. It must be remembered that the document was produced before Captain Barnewell as far back as A. D. 1820, and has been repeatedly referred to in previous proceedings. Captain Barnewell wrote : An agreement was entered into between the heads of the Shravuks and the ancestors of the present Palitana Chief, when, in consideration of protection, a moderate contribution was stipulated for by a written instrument which is forthcoming.' The document was therefore produced. Captain Barnewell refers to the Page #312 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ pAlItANA rAjya sAthe thayelA rakhApAnA karAro 253 document as dated Samrut 1807 ( A.

In 1862, the Thakore wrote :~ Even the document dated Samvut 1707 produced by the Shravuks, itself proves the hill to be ours.' And Colonel Keatinge, in his proceedings in 1863, recorded a 'copy of an agreement alleged to have been passed by the Thakore to the Shravuks, in Samvut 1707 (A. D. 1650-51).' The translation recorded in Colonel Keatinge's proceedings tallies with the document now produced. The document cannot therefore now be rejected.'' a--"have huM ( 27 mA jheDa) namUnAnA dastAveja viSe kheAluM chuM. te dastAveja porabaMdaranA jatI meAtIjIe rajU karyA hatA. teNe evI jubAnI ApI che ke, te dastAveja jaina AcArya dhAranaMdasUrI ( dharmAnaMda ri ) pAsethI huM lAvelA chuM.

"5. That the said Raja and his successors continued to act up to these solemn injunctions to their full extent, but, after a lapse of a long period, one of the Raja's successors unjustly impossed a tax of duty on every person who arrived at the pilgrimage, which your petitioners, in common with other pilgrims, were constrained to pay, or submit to the cruel mortification of returning without perfomrming the ceremony for which they had taken the trouble of a long and expensive journey, and therefore they were obliged, from the creation of the fraudulent necessity, Page #315 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 256 zeTha A karanI peDhIne itihAsa to pay the tax and perform their religious duty, having 'no means of redress, or authorites to appeal to against so flagitious and impious an inposition.

That, a few years ago, the Raja employed some Arabs in his service, men of loose principles and character,' and who have stationed themselves upon the said hill, and commit grievanees in and about the temple revolting to the nature and religion of your petitioners, by killing animals and getting drunk, which are offences of so heinous a nature in the judgment of your petitioners, that they would willingly offer themselves up as victims of slaughter rathar than incur such polution in a temple so consecrated, endeared, and venerated for ages. "9. That, on remonstrating to the Arabs for such cruel deeds, their answer was that the Raja was indebted to them, and therefor they had taken their station upon the hill as mortgagees to redeem the debt due to them. "11. On hearing these circumstances of oppression, the Raja of Bhownuggur has also lately inposed a tax upon the people who pass and re-pass to Palitana through Bhownuggur and Gogo.... ... "Your petitioners therefore humbly implore that your Honorable Board will sympathize with them in those feelings of regret and mortification which result from such acts of pollution and brutal policy directed against an inoffensive caste and national religin of India. ... ... ... ..."

The document, however, as bearing that officer's signature, and purporting, as it does, to have been concurred in by both parties in his presence, must now, I conceive, be accepted as genuine.

The Shrawuck Community represented by: Shet Dayabhaee Unopchund Sha Tacursee Punjasha Against the Thakoor Saheb of Palitana. : Claim the continuance in perpetuity of guranteed agreement regarding the Pilgrim tax taken from persons visiting the Shrines on the Shetroonjee Hill. As directed in the letters of Government No. 1722 of 4th June and No. 1902 of 13th June 1863, I proceed to make, to the best of my ability, an equitable arrangement between the contending parties. It is not my intention to review in any way the history of the quarrel, as within the last year it has been twice reported upon; Page #331 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 272 zeTha AvakanI peDhInA itihAsa 1stly, By Major W. W. Anderson on the 15th January 1863, and 2ndly, by myself in my report dated 25th April 1863--both these reports are annexed. 2nd. It is desirable that two errors in Honourable Mr. Anderson's letter No. 1902 of 13th June, 1863 should be pointed out as having attracted notice and been enquired into before the representatives of the contending parties : I. Annundjee Kallianjee is not the name of an individual. It is the designation of a Firm organized by the Shrawuck Community to receive and control the Treasury of the Temples. II. The Statement in the 7th paragraph is erroneous, the Palitana Chief holds no Sunnud from the Delhi Court, and there is unfortunately no record of any authorized scale of Taxation on Pilgrims. 3rd. The Chief of Palitana governs his own territory and under ordinary circumstances would make his own rules for the taxation of the pilgrims and for their admission to the Shetrunja hill within his boundary and immediately overhanging his capital." The Shrawak Community, however, claim our interposition in their favour on two separate grounds : : I. As holders of a Sanad from the Delhi court, conferring Palitana and the Hill on Santidas, the King's Jeweller, one of their Community. II. On account of a lease cxecuted by the Thakore in the year 1821 before the Political Agent which they state to be binding in perpetuity. 4th. The Sanad is dated the 30th year of the reign of Shah Jahan about A. D. 1657. It would be an interesting study to trace what the real power of the Delhi Court in Kathiawad was at that period and how far it had the power to enforce such a gift. I have, however, searched in vain for any authentic information in this matter. I remark, however that the exact period of Page #332 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ pAlItANA rAjya sAthe thayelA rakhepAnA karAra 203 the grant was one of utter anarchy in the empire, being the year in which Shah Jahan was dethroned by his son Aurangzeb. 5th. Between the year 1657, and 1808, there was however, abundant time for change, and the fact is undoubted that in the latter year when Colonel Walker first extended British influence into Kattywar, we found Chief of Palitana, a Gohel Rajpoot, in possession of the Estate he now holds, paying a tribute to the Guicowar of Baroda and levying fees on all Pilgrims visiting the Shrines on the Hill. The Palitana Estate was at that period nearly ruined; the Chief was incapable of managing his own affairs, was at enmity with his own son, and was deeply indebted to one of the Shrawuck Community. The latter class possessed then, as they do now, the great influence consequent on a close combination amongst themselves and unbounded wealth which made them the creditors of almost every Chief in Guzerat. Our interference in their behalf was constant, but it was never proposed that an attempt should be made to revive the terms of Sha-Jahan's grant by encroaching upon the rights of Palitana Chief. 6th. Captain Barnwell the Political Agent addressing Government on the 20th December 1820, suggested that the Guicowar should be requested to remit so much of his Tribute as would compensate the Palitana Chief for any loss he might incur by abandoning his claim to the Pilgrim tax. He assessed the amount at from three to four thousand Rupees. A Negotiation was consequently opened with Baroda on this point, but His Highness the Guicowar proving unwilling to make any concession, the matter was not pressed. These circumstances, I think, show that the Sunnud of the Delhi Court must be rejected as establishing any special claim on the part of the Shrawuck Sect to exemption from the Pilgrim tax levied by the Palitana Chief, 35 Page #333 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 274 zeTha A kanI peDhInA itihAsa 7th. In 1821 the lease was executed before Captain Barnwell which forms the second document on which the claimants demand our intervention on their behalf. Government has stated in the letter above alluded to No. 1902 of 13th June 1863, that the whole question turns upon the wording and construction to be placed upon this deed; two translations of the document are annexed, one prepared by a Comittee of three Officers o the Kathyawar Political Agencyand another presented by the Shrawuck Agent bearing the signature of Mr. Flynn, a professional translator. There is no important difference between these translations. The deed is of the nature of a form of the pilgrim tax given by the Thakore to the Shrawuk Community; it commences with a clear statement that the agreement is for ten years, but further on in the body of the document, is the clause on which the complainants claim that the deed may be enforced in perpetuity. COMMITTEE'S TRANSLATION. And after the expiry of the period as long as you shall pay the money in future years so long we will continue you in the enjoyment according to agreement. MR. FLYNN'S TRANSLATION. And after the expiration of the time as long as you shall pay the amount in future according to the agreement we will act up according to the agreement. 8th. This single clause in the lease when read apart from the rest appears sufficiently clear but it will be obvious to any person accustomed to the perusal of documents of that date that the form of words used in deeds intended to be binding in perpetuity are wanting in this instance. This clause when read in context with the rest of the document loses much of its force and it is evident from the English correspondence that the officer who mediated the agreement did not consider it a leading feature in the agreement. Still if Page #334 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ pAlItANA rAjya sAthe thayelA rakhAAnA karArI 275 such a clause occured in a document drawn up between two persons equally subject to the ordinary course of Law, I should not scrupple to decide that the lease was to continue in force according to its present terms as long as the lessee chose to make his payments with regularity. But the case here is different. The Thakore of Palitana is, as I have above stated, a Prince ruling his own territory, he loudly declaims against the terms of the lease, and against the influences which the Srawucks have brought to bear upon his estate, and asserts that the respect he owes to the British Government alone induces him to permit the Shrawuck Agency to continue the collection of this tax. It must be remembered that this claim is but one of many made by this sect for peculiar privileges and exemptions in Palitana. 9th. Captain Barnwell reported to Government that he had concluded an arrangement for ten years-and as ten year's guarantee, the Government of the day sanctioned his scheme. The rights of levying some tax on Pilgrims has at all times been claimed by native Government-the responsibility of providing for the protection of these travellers with their numbers, and it is but just that the right of taxation being once conceded the revenue should be in proportion to the numbers who frequent the Shrine. 10th. I would willingly, as stated in my report of the 25th April 1863, have suspended the Government Guarantee, and have given the Thakore permission to manage this affair for himself reserving the right of Government to interfere if he should be proved to have abused the confidence reposed in his moderation and good sense; but the subsequent orders of Government quoted at the commencement of this report direct that a settlement between the parties should be mediated by the Political Agent; I consequently called upon the parties to attend thro' their Agents at Rajcote in the commencement of August. Page #335 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 20$ zeTha ATha kevanI peDhIne itihAsa 11th. A short summary of my proceedings is appended. Every endeavour was made, though unsuccessfully, to bring about an understanding between the parties and thus obviate the necessity of an authoritative decision. 12th, Captain Barnwell, in his letter to Government of 20th December, 1820, para 4, states that previous to the year A. D. 1788, an equitable rate was levied by the Thakore, but after that period it was greatly increased. I endeavoured to discover what these rates were, and ascertained that the main pilgrim tax was called the "Kur," but that minor exactions under the designation of " Mulnoo," Nazrana, and Wullawa were customary. The agreement of A. D. 1750 refers to Mulnoo Only. On calling for accounts to ascertain the actual rates of taxation previous to 1788, the Shrawak representatives stated that they had no accounts of that period to produce. Books were brought forward by the Thakore of Palitana. 13th. The books in question were objected to by the representatives of the sect as being irregularly kept, but a committee of native gentlemen, to whom the matter was referred. de cided that there were not sufficient grounds to warrant their rejection as evidence. The account examined extended over the years from Samvat 1831 to 1850 corresponding to Christian years 1774 to 1793. The maximum average rate of tax entered is Rs. 4-9-9 levied on 587 pilgrims in Samvat 1833. The minimum is Rs. 1-1-4 exacted from 2,451 pilgrims in 1835. The entries in the books which have been taken into account refer to 24,454 pilgrims and the average tax collected on all is Rs. 2-6-5. The detailed statement accompanies from which these figures are deducted. No approximation of the number of the pilgrims visiting the shrines is procurable. Page #336 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ pAlItANA rAjya sAthe thayelA epAnA karAra 14th. Bearing in mind, the peculiar relations of the parties concerned to one another and keeping in view the political status of the Chief of Palitana on the one hand and on the other the consideration due to the devout feelings of a large and influential sect, I make the following decision : 15th. The collection of the pilgrim tax is to continue with the Shrawak Community, but the amount payable to the Thakore Saheb of Palitana is to be subject to the revisal every ten years. The year is to commence on the 1st of January. 16th. From the 1st of January 1864 the Shrawuck Community are to pay at the rate of ten thousand Rupees yearly ( 10,000) on account of "Kur" or Pilgrim tax, this sum to include every other minor tax such as Mulnoo, Nuzerana, and Wullawa. I have settled this sum after mature consideration, under a full impression that the state of the Shrawuck treasury, and the number of Pilgrims visiting the shrines quite warrant such an increase in the yearly payment. 17th. This order as regards the amount of payment to be considered binding and unalterable for the period of two years viz: to the 31st December 1865. 18th. At any time after that date either party are to be at liberty to call for a revisal of amount payable for the redemption of the tax; a scrutiny is then to be made under the rules provided below, and the result arrived at is to continue in force for ten years-- or as much longer as the parties concerned may wish. 19th. Neither party are to be entitled to call for a revisal of rate until it has been in force for ten years, and no revisal is to be made unless formally demanded by the repressentatives of the Shrawuck Community or by the Chief of Palitana. 20th. One rate having by mutual consent continued in force for any period in excess of ten years will not be considered to bar any future revisal when called for according to the terms of the decision. Page #337 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 278 zeTha A0 ka0nI peDhIne itihAsa 21st. When a revisal is called for it is to be made by persons appointed by the Political Agent in Kathiawar or any other Officer of Government for the time being holding chief civil authority in the Peninsula. 22nd. The rate is to be determined by an actual count of the Pilgrims visiting the Shrines, and as it is necessary to provide against unfair means being used either to increase or decrease the number of Pilgrims visiting the Temples during the period of the enumeration the chief civil authority should be at liberty to extend his scrutiny over a period of two years and to make his count continuous or intermittant during that period. 23rd. During the time of the scrutiny the amount of tax in force during the last decade is to be continued and is to remain unaltered until the next new year after the conclusion of the investigation. 24th. The cost of the enumeration is to be borne exclusively by the party calling for it. 25th. The amount is to be determined by assuming that each Pilgrim pays two rupees for Pilgrim tax or "kur." 26th. The only exceptions to be allowed are as follows :1. The descendants of Set Santidass. II. All Priests and paid servants permanently attached to the temples on the Hill. III. The Thakoor of Palitana, his relation and his paid servants. IV. Persons who have permanently resided in the Town of Palitana for one year and who wish constantly to ascend the Hill. This may be assumed to pay a yearly fee of five rupees in lieu of the sum of two rupees for each visit. 27th. I owe some apology to the Thakoor of Palitana and to the representatives of the Shrawuck sect for the long delay of three months that has occurred in arriving at this decision.
