________________ 99 this community. This has proved a cause for pain to our sacred mind engaged in the management of the world. Hence you should be so cautious within the province under your jurisdiction that none can distress others. The rule for the present and future governors, Nabobs and politicians carrying on the complete or partial government of the provinces on that side is that they should not act in contravention of the King's order - which is another form of God's Farman - considering it to be the source for the improvement of their own position, and that in so doing they should realise the happiness and the perceptibly true honour of the religion and of the world. After perusing and keeping a copy of this Farman, it should be handed over to them, so that it may remain with them as a permanent charter. They should not entertain any anxiety in the discharge of their rites of worship and should remain zealous in the worship of God. This should be considered as a duty, and no impediment against it should be allowed. Written this day named 'Khurdad,' the sixth date of the month of Azar of Ilahi year 35. Mutabik 28. Muharam month, Hijri year 999. . By the writing of Abul Fazl, the humblest of the followers, and by the notes of Ibrahim Husen. (This is a faithful rendering of the original.) Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
