The Prem Sum¢rag presents an ideal of the duty of the Sikh Panth during the eighteenth/ nineteenth centuries. The importance of this classic text lies in the fact that it is of Sanatan origin, part of a tradition which has been over time overshadowed by the dominant Tat Khalsa version of the Rahit. McLeod`s translation of Randhir Singh`s text of the Prem Sum¢rag is thus a major contribution to Sikh studies. Notwithstanding debates about its date, this Sanatan text presents a radical alternative to the Tat Khalsa interpretation of Sikh history. The Prem Sum¢rag provides an extended account of the Sikh way of life. It outlines Sikh ceremonies and ideals, and what was conceived to be `noble practice` by its anonymous authors. The leisurely and detailed style of this document differs dramatically from the usually pithy style of the other rahit-namas, and, this Sanatan text is, in its description, perhaps a closer reflection of the society of the time.ISBN - 9780195671520
