Popis: | Long ago it was recognized by color che sanno that the Ādi Granth of the Sikhs, the Bible of the Panjab, began with the Western Hindi hymns and prose preachings of Guru Nānak (1469–1538), and thence grew to its present vast proportions by the accretion of his successors' utterances, in which the language gradually changed to Panjabi. On the other hand, the Dasam Gurugranth SĀhib of Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh pontiff, which is not included in the Ādi Granth, is composed in more or less standard Western Hindi. |
