"Your servants, according to your royal pleasure and summons, have been sent by the Rana to represent what is written underneath. We hope you will agree to these requests, besides others which will be made by Padam Singh.
"1. Let Chitor, with the districts adjacent appertaining thereto when it was inhabited, be restored.
"2. In such temples and places of Hindu religious resort as have been converted into mosques, the past cannot be recalled, but let this practice be abolished.
"3. The aid hitherto afforded to the empire by the Rana shall be continued, but let no additional commands be imposed.
"4. The sons and dependants of the deceased Raja Jaswant Singh so soon as enabled to perform their duties, we hope will have their country restored to them.[A]
"Respect prevents inferior demands. May the splendour of your fortune, like the sun illuminating the world, be for ever increasing and never set.
“The Arzi (requests) of your servants, Sur Singh and Narhar Bhat.”
