Nika Diwan, call Munshi Sarab- 

 dhyal. 



Write an order to Raja Suchet 

 Singh with one thousand cavalry 

 and two thousand infantry to 

 march from Peshawar and settle 

 Banuu, and write an order also to 

 Futteh Singh Man to put himself 

 under the Raja's orders and not 

 to disobey any of his commands. 



Write an order to Diwan Dunnu 

 that the Sarkar has given him the 

 country of Guzerat, order him to 

 accept it, and to give five thou- 

 sand rupees nazarana for it ; at 

 the time of presenting which he 

 will receive a khilat. 



Your highness, the Diwan refuses to 

 accept it. 



Just like the rascal, he does not 

 accept it on account of the naza- 

 rana ; take off two thousand and 

 he will obey. 



Your highness, the Diwan has agreed. 



Do you see Jamadar, the play of the 

 rascal? two thousand rupees have 

 been remitted, why has he accept- 

 ed it now ? 

 The Maharaja ill with a pain in his knee. 

 Maharaj ji, hek wada Your highness, there is a great Sayad 

 who cured a bad leg of mine by 

 the touch of his hand. 



Mishar, bring that Sayad ; ask 

 Ruldu Farash where he lives, get 

 ready an elephant and bring him 

 on it with respect. 

 The Sayad arrives, 

 sukh hove Brother, may you be well and carry 

 on your government ; may you 

 continue to bluster in the world. 



Mishar, bring five bags of a hundred 

 rupees each. 



Your highness will, I hope, give me 

 a sight of yourself to-morrow. 



Your highness, there is a holy man 

 who has one of Guru Nanak's 

 shoes. 



What, has he preserved it since that 

 time; bring here that Sadh and 

 take my own Masa, Mishar, for 

 him to come in.
