When Madhavrao Peshwa reached Srirangapatnam in 1767, clause 7 inserted into the treaty laid down how Hyder Ali would treat the Sringeri math & the swami.
The intention was for Hyder to stop harassment of #Sringeri & the swami.
Excerpt from an original letter to Nana Phadnis

..Two more clauses are significant. One restores a village given to Gokarn Mahabaleshwar in 1765 in the Anantpur treaty by Raghoba, for its maintenance and expenses – which had been taken away by Hyder Ali 2/3
..a third clause (out of 11), says Hyder 'regularly pay all charitable & religious stipends, and not to molest the Hindus on account of their religion.
The clauses are a declaration of Maratha policy and reveal Hyder's actions.. & the need to put down his excesses in Karnataka
