Hail! A purjī of the venerable Commander-in-Chief General Sir Bhima Samsera Jaṅga Bahādura Rāṇā, KCVO, a venerable prince born of a prince, to the chief and clerks of the Guṭhī Kharca Aḍḍā under [Śrī 3 Sarkāra]2
Uprānta: The abbot (mahanta) of the Daśanāmīakhāḍā, Gaṃgā Gīrī, [and] the sādhuNārāṃ Dāsa, who acts on behalf of the mahanta of the Vairāgīakhaḍā, submitted a petition to us stating: "Since for performing worship for deities and recitations during the Baḍā Dasaĩ of the year [VS 19]69 in the Daśanāmī and Vairāgī akhaḍās 125 moha[ra]ru[paiyā]̃s was allocated [by you], may we receive [funding] for the Baḍā Dasai of the current year, [VS 19]70, too". Therefore for the current year, [VS 19]70, 50 moharus have been allocated. Follow the customs in accordance with the law and administrative directives (savāla) of your office: write down the expenses in the account book of the [Śrī Jaganandaprakāseśvara]3 Guṭhī and place these 50 moharus—[in words] fifty rupees—into the hands of the persons [mentioned in the] particulars (tapasila). It will be deducted when accounts are cleared according to the account books and receipts that bear the signatures and seals of the said [persons].

For copies of the same order issued in the preceding years, see K_0382_0036 (VS 1968) and K_0384_0065 (VS 1969). The present order diverges from the earlier ones in that it reduces the amount granted to the Vairāgī akhāḍā from 100 to 25 moharus. Even if this change is apparent from the present order, no explanation is given why the funds were reduced so drastically.
