1272 The known key-dates of this district number only three.
They all belong to the mode of expired years.
As regards the system of years it may be noted that the people of Kutch have been following the system of Așādhādi years since long. One (No. 397) of the three dates throws no light on the system of years, while the two others (Nos. 398 and 399) apply to Așādhādi years'.
The dates contain no indications about the system of months. 1. These dates can apply to Caitrādi years as well. But the local practice followed in Kutch since long favours the other alternative, viz. the system of Aşadhadi years.
