TEXTUAL ANALYSIS<br />

Dr.Jaggi,s Book (<strong>Dasam</strong> Granth Kartitav-Authenticity,1966) documents different Birs<br />

having many variations in the total number <strong>of</strong> compositions. Some are missing in<br />

comparison with published Birs. <strong>Textual</strong> analysis also shows CHHAND COUNT<br />

VARIATIONS .This clearly shows that this Granth has no established text test but<br />

has rather evolutionary text. I am hereby producing charts from Jaggi (1966) in English.<br />
