2. Whatever life, whether man or animal, passes their abode for the purpose of being killed, is saved (amara).[[9]]
3. Traitors to the State, robbers, felons escaped confinement, who may fly for sanctuary (saran) to the dwellings (upasra)[[10]] of the Yatis,[[11]] shall not there be seized by the servants of the court.
4. The kunchi[[12]] (handful) at harvest, the mutthi (handful) of kirana, the charity lands (dholi), grounds, and houses, established by them in the various towns, shall be maintained.
5. This ordinance is issued in consequence of the representation of the Rikh[[13]] Mana, to whom is granted fifteen bighas of adhan[[14]] land, and twenty-five of maleti.[[14]] The same quantity of each kind in each of the districts of Nimach and Nimbahera.—Total in three districts, forty-five bighas of adhan, and seventy-five of mal[[15]] [554].
On seeing this ordinance, let the land be measured and assigned, and let none molest the Yatis, but foster their privileges. Cursed be he who infringes them—the cow to the Hindu—the hog and corpse to the Musalman.
