v1.c13.s5.16

(1) The Emperor was to pay the Peshwa fifty lakhs of Rupees for his armed support, out of which thirty lakhs was the price of keeping the Abdali out. (2) One-fourth of the imperial revenue (*chauth*) in the subahs of the Panjab and Sindh and the four mahals (Siālkot, Pasrur, Aurangabad, and Gujrāt),—the revenue of which mahals had been ceded to Nādir Shah and after him to the Abdali, and the districts of Hisar, Sambal, Moradabad, and Budaun, was assigned to the Marathas for their military expenses. Half the revenue of these places was to be paid into the imperial exchequer for the support of the Emperor and the remaining quarter was to be devoted to paying the contingents of the wazir and Javid Khan.
