Specimens of kamiauti bonds
I, Sohan Bhuinyan, resident of mauza Diha, pargana Pahra, in the district of Bihar, do hereby acknowledge to have taken an advance of Rs. 24–14–0 for agreeing to work as a kamia and menial servant from Jainu Singh, by caste Rajput, of Diha. In this document which I execute, I willingly and voluntarily bind myself to plough on nakdi and bhaoli lands of Jainu Singh, and to grow cotton, sugarcane, etc., for him, and to work wherever the lands of Jainu Singh may be situated. I and my descendants for ever bind ourselves to be ready to perform any work given to us, and to perform all the duties of a menial servant without objection. If at any time I abscond I shall be liable to be brought back by the said Jainu Singh by force and shall offer no objection, and if I refuse to return or offer resistance I shall be liable to pay the nakdi and bhaoli produce of one plough and Rs. 100 in cash and then I and my descendants can be released from our obligations. I shall be paid the same diet allowance or wages as is customary in this village and around. If I cause any other work of the aforesaid Jainu Singh to suffer he shall have authority to administer justice as he thinks proper. For the above this document is executed by way of Sewaknama so that it may be of use where occasion requires.
