316 Rdawaswimi’s Account of the Island and Bridges of Sivasamudram. 
even now, when a great part of the jungle has been cleared, both on the 
island and the tract above-mentioned, I do not receive from them more than. 
eight hundred rupees per annum, which may be increased, when the jungle 
is entirely removed, to one thousand eight hundred rupees. 
My monthly disbursements for charitable purposes,—the expenses of the 
pagodas, and on various other accounts, are not less than six hundred 
rupees, and the expenditure can never be less, while the several establish- 
ments of the island are kept up-
