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.
