Of the four more key-dates of this district two (nos. 22 & 23) dates are of definite character. Both of them apply to the inode of expired years.
Both these dates (nos. 22 of 23) apply to the system of expired Āşādhādi or Kārttikādi years.
Of these two dates, only one date (no. 23) throws light on the system of months. It applies to the Amānta system
Thus the result of these newly discovered dates hardly affect the former result of the region except the system of months. There was not any former date which could give the clue for the system of months. In these newly added dates, there is only one date (i. e. 100%) which applies to the Amānta system of months.
Bhutiā-Vāsaņā copper-plate grant' of Caulukya King Jayasimba II is dated in V. S. 1274, Āśvayuja. But as the date recorded on the first plate is incomplete and as the second plate containing the remaining particulars is missing, it does not admit of verification.
Thus the newly found key-dates generally conform to the conclusions drawn in the preceeding chapter, only a few of them affecting the results adversely and that, too, to a very small extent.
