Thanks, If I remember correctly, I think there are some late Sikh texts in Sanskrit. There are some hybrid Sanskrit verses (Salok Sahaskirti) composed by the Sikh Gurus. Somewhat similar hybrid Sanskrit/Prakrit has been used by Jina Taranaswamy, founder of a Jain sect in Bundelkhand. Yashwant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA:Besides these, the Nirmalas have written short Prakarana granthas, and commentaries on Sikh texts that are often in Sanskritized Hindi and have a distict Advaitic/Vedantic bias. With the rise of Akalis however, the Nirmalas have been sidelined completely. The Nirmalas emerged from a group of Sikhs who were sent by Guru Gobind Singh to learn the Shastras from the Pandits of Kashi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
