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:
“... it must be obvious that in the agitation preceding the enactment of [protective] laws the zeal of the reformers would be second to the zeal of the highly paid night-workers who are anxious to hold their trade against an invasion of skilled women. To this sort of interference with her working life the modern woman can have but one attitude: I am not a child.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
