Preceding Codes
Sikh Rehat Maryada is based on earlier codes (Rehat nama), to include:
- Tanakhah-nama (Nasîhatnâme) Samvat 1776 (1718-19 CE), ten years after the death of Guru Gobind Singh.
- The Prahilad Rai Rehat-nama
- Sakhi Rehat ki: About 1735 CE
- Chaupa Singh Rehat-nama: 1740-1765 CE (1700 CE according to Piara Singh Padam). Chaupa Singh was a member of the Guru's retinue. He was entrusted with the care of infant Gobind Das by Guru Tegh Bahadur. Some members of Chaupa Singh's family became martyrs with Guru Tegh Bahadur in Delhi and others served under the 10th Guru.
- Desa Singh Rehat-nama: late 18th century
- Daya Singh Rehat-name.

Famous quotes containing the words preceding and/or codes:
“The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.”
—Jim Shahin (20th century)
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
