(1) The emperor should confirm king Shāhū in the right of collecting the *chauth* and *sardeshmukhī* from the six provinces of the Deccan and Mysore, Trichinopoly and Tanjore: Shāhū was to exercise sovereign rights in all the territory composing Shivājī’s *swarājya*, except certain portions of Khāndesh, in lieu of which, territories in the Pandharpur district should be ceded. The fortresses of Shivner and Trimbak should be restored, and recent Marāthā conquests in Gondwāna and Berār confirmed. Shāhū’s mother and family should be allowed to return to the Deccan.
