c18.s18.13

A similar set of instructions was issued in 1784-85, when the Mamlat of Pargana Hasot in Prant Gujrat was transferred from Sakharam Sheshadri to Balaji Ram.⁸ The new officer was told that he should see that the cultivation of the said Pargana be made according to the *istawa* and the details of the cultivation be submitted every year to the Sarsubha. If however the amount of the cultivation fell short of the istawa contract, the Government loss should be compensated by the Kamavisdars.
