v2.c27.s2.t9.12

All the products of foreign countries imported by the Vaishnavas,³ whether domestic or foreign, and intended for consumption at Nathdwara,⁴ shall be exempt from duties. The right of sanctuary (saran) of Sriji, both in the town and in all his other villages,⁵ will be maintained: the Almighty will take cognisance of any innovation. Wherefore, let all chiefs, farmers of duties, beware of molesting the goods of Nathji (the god), and wherever such may halt, let guards be provided for their security, and let each chief convey them through his bounds in safety. If of my blood, or if my servants, this warrant will be obeyed for ever and for ever. Whoever resumes this grant will be a caterpillar in hell during 60,000 years.
