English Translation:

In village Seda, Mahajan Suri’s son went to a school in the village of Jatis. The Sadhu in the Jati village misbehaved with his mother. He abused her, which was beyond the established law of conduct. The people of Seda village protested against this incident, opining that none of the Jati was allowed to misbehave with a female. The Jati, in such circumstances, sat on a hunger-strike. The matter was reported to the court and orders were issued to punish the Jati – if he had misbehaved with Suri’s mother. And in case if the Jati had not misbehaved with the mother, then no person should get into tussle with the Jatis.
