Birth date

According to the book Remembering Stalwarts: Biographical Sketches of Scholars from Archaeological Survey of India, it is certain that Hiranand Sastri was died on 4 August 1946. But there are confusion about birth year (of course birth year, because the birth date is not traceable). According to Remembering Stalwarts, the birth year is '1878'. But this source (PhD thesis)^[1] states that Sastri was died at the 'age of 82' in 1946. If we count the birth year according to the age at the 'death year' (1946), it will be 1863 or 1864. Need to be investigated. Which is true? Currently I am removing the Ph.D thesis, and adding Remembering Stalwarts (more reliable source). Thanks. --Gazal world (talk) 12:16, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
