High indignity Baboo Sookhul Chand Sahoo and Boola Sahoo, Managers of the temples of Jain Situm. bury, i.e., on the hills of Pareshnath. jee alias Somed Shekhurjee, be of good cheer.
A long time ago since the reigns of the Emperors, the hills of Pareshnathjee, being considered the holy place of the persons of Jain Situmbry religion, were made over to my father, because we were also of the religion of Jain Situmbury. But owing to my having been charged with various affairs, and the said holy place being situate at a great distance I could not manage the affairs thereof. I therefore having appointed you as the manager of the affairs write to you that you should most carefully manage all affairs so that the pilgrims might with perfect ease travel there and return therefrom. This hill and the holy place have been in the possession of
the
persons of Jain Situmbury. No other person has anything to do with it. Therefore this Perwanah or order is written to you that you should act accordingly. If any of the authorities or landholders set up opposition in any way, you should produce this Perwanah. Dated the 16th of the month of Zakund 1189 Hijri.
