[2] According to Panjikar Vidyanand Jha alias Mohanji, the Panji system came into existence after a dispute in 1326 AD over the marriage of a minister of the King Harisimha Deva, to the sister of a distant relative.

After that the King Harisimha Deva decided to make a genealogy of every person in Mithila so that such a situation does not arise.

[3] The Panji System was introduced in 1327 AD by the King Harisimha Deva of Karnat Dynasty in Mithila.

They are Saurath, Khanagadi, Partapur, Sheohar, Govindpur, Fattepur, Sajhaul, Sukhasana, Akhdari, Hemnagar, Balua, Baruali, Samsaul, and Sasaula.

Increasingly, people are looking forward to more modern methods of match making like internet, rather than centuries old palm leaves.

It is said that Mithila region has more than four lakhs manuscripts of the genealogical records of the Maithil Brahmins and Karan Kayasthas.

According to the National Mission for Manuscripts, the officers are facing many difficulties while convincing for digitisation of the handwritten genealogical records.
