Sacred Texts
The single most important religious text is the Bhagavata. This work was transcreated from the original Sanskrit Bhagavata Purana to Assamese in the 15th and 16th centuries by ten different individuals, but chiefly by Srimanta Sankardeva who rendered as many as ten Cantos (complete and partial) of this holy text.
Two other works find a special place in this religion. Kirtan Ghoxa, composed by Sankardeva and Naam Ghoxa, composed by Madhavdeva form a complete set of hymns for congregational singing.

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or texts:
“Each is under the most sacred obligation not to squander the material committed to him, not to sap his strength in folly and vice, and to see at the least that he delivers a product worthy the labor and cost which have been expended on him.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“The party of God and the party of Literature have more in common than either will admit; their texts may conflict, but their bigotries coincide. Both insist on being the sole custodians of the true word and its only interpreters.”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
