Discussion of the Evidence of Documents. (a) Documents preserved in the house of Babu Nifi Kanta Bhattacharyya of Dingamanik. Nos. 10 and 12. The following chart shows the relative position of the two documents:

It may be seen at a glance that one of the two dates must be wrong. If we have the 564 Parganati on the 25th Chaitra of B.s. 1173, we cannot have 567 Parganâti on the 10th of Agrahayana of B.s. 1175.
