The text of passport is translated by Sarat Chandra Das as follows:
The Gan-pos (village elders or head-men) and the common people, Jong-Pons and Shi-Pons (subordinate jongs) residing on the road from Lhasa via Tashilhunpo and Phagri to India, be sure that under order of the Chief High Imperial Commissioner and Confidential Minister Tung-thang Chenpo Acharya Dharjirgir and his servants bringing letters of the Shahebs from Calcutta, while travelling back (to India) at whatever place they may halt or stage, should be supplied with provision for journey, food, fuel, two saddled yaks, 5 riding ponies for their conveyance, and ten lade animals with two attendants or coolies at every stage.

The letters with enclosures, silk scarves, &c., from Tung-thang Chenpo to the Shahebs of Calcutta being forwarded by the hand of this (messenger) to a great distance, there should be not the least detention or delay in the transit on the way by the Jong-Pons, Shi-Pons, Gan-po and the common people.

It is important that nothing occurs like rambling about on throwing off (of the letter). The date of the starting of this (messenger) being noted in the Register of the Yasnun of the Resident Anapa, laziness (on the part of the authorities on the way) will surely necessitate subsequent inquiry. For this reason, do the needful and avoid negligence, &o.

The guide and his servant should be supplied with two through relay ponies from Lhasa via Tashilhunpho to Phagri and back, besides food and fuel at the halting stages. These should be collected and supplied.

Carry out the above official order of Pass-port and Road-bill issued by the Gyal-wang-chog (Dalai Lama). Water-ox year, 13th of the 2nd month.
