------------------ No. XIII _Privileges and Immunities granted to the Printers of Calico and Inhabitants of the Town of Great Akola in Mewar._ Maharana Bhim Singh, commanding, to the inhabitants of Great Akola. Whereas the village has been abandoned from the assignments levied by the garrison of Mandalgarh, and it being demanded of its population how it could again be rendered prosperous, they unanimously replied: "Not to exact beyond the dues and contributions (_dand dor_) established of yore; to erect the pillar promising never to exact above half the produce of the crops, or to molest the persons of those who thus paid their dues." The Presence agreed, and this pillar has been erected. May Eklinga look to him who breaks this command. The hog to the Musalman and the cow to the Hindu. Whatever contributions (_dand_) parmo,[3.a.53] puli,[3.a.54] heretofore levied shall be paid [207].

The custom of furnishing quilts (_sirak_)[3.a.59] of which you complain is of ancient date.
