Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v3.c43.79

v3.c43.79

“Maharao Sri Jai Singh, plighting his faith (*bachanaita*).
“At this time, Brother Man Singh, I bestow upon thee, of my own free will, the village and lands of Jethpura. This donative shall not look to *ranrkas*: *suput, kuput*:¹ your issue shall enjoy them. Of this intention I call the four-armed divinity (Chaturbhuj)² as witness. You are my own child (*chhora*): wherever and whenever I order, you will do my service: if you fail, the fault be on your own head.”
