Seventh.—Respect the rent-free tenures, *nānkār* and *in‘ām*,* according to the practice of the department for the administration of Crownlands. Learn what the Government *amils* have increased (?), namely, how much they have left in arrears from the beginning of the grant of the *jagirs*, what portion they have deducted on the plea of shortage [of crop] and [natural] calamity. In consideration of these things resume [the unlawfully increased rent-free lands] of the past, and prohibit [them] in future, so that they may bring the *parganas* back to their proper condition. The truth will be reported to the Emperor, and favours will be shown to all according to their devotion.
