These works provided a ground upon which Sikh gurus laid the foundations of their faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe songs also mark the earliest beginnings of Hindi literature. Although the literary output of these saints comes down to us in various stages of corruption, the works which appeared in the Adi Granth are unchanged since their inclusion in that work in the early 1600s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nirmal Dass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791446840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791446843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.90w x 0.71d","brand":"Nirmal Dass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930682900735,"sku":"9780791446843","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bed125b0-d9a3-46e4-ae2a-0388f7a79658.jpg?v=1766343542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/songs-of-the-saints-from-nirmal-dass-9780791446843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
