Explanation:

This is the statement (translated) that appears in Vishnusmriti.“Let him (the king) bestow landed property upon brahmanas.To those upon whom he has bestowed (land), he must give a document, destined for the information of a future ruler, which must be written upon a piece of cloth, or a copper plate, or must contain the names of (three) immediate ancestors, a declaration of the extent of the land, and a description (of what results) from disrupting the donation and should be signed with his own seal. Let him not appropriate to himself landed property bestowed (upon brahmanas) by other rulers”.
