pottah.
ryots only whose cultivation was carried on agreeably to the practice
termed mootry, and no other, were to specify the amount of the rent
annexed to their pottahs under that single head only ; whilst, in instances
in which ryots cultivated not only on mootry but also on nukdy and betay
agreements, this form of pottah also prescribed how the particulars of the
zeyl were, under such circumstances, to be subjoined, at the same time
that it comprehended under the several heads of cultivation, a specifica-
tion of the denomination of begah, in order that as all the three descrip-
tions of begahs particularized in Clause Third were more or less in use in
the province, it might be left to the option of the malguzars, and ryots to
adopt in their engagements whichever of these three standards they might
prefer, the aumeens being required only to see that the description of
begah agreed on should in every instance be specified.
The following is a translate of the general form of pottah
with which the aumeens were furnished:
