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

Famous quotes containing the words preceding and/or codes:
“Very few of our race can be said to be yet finished men. We still carry sticking to us some remains of the preceding inferior quadruped organization. We call these millions men; but they are not yet men. Half-engaged in the soil, pawing to get free, man needs all the music that can be brought to disengage him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Thou hast a voice, great Mountain, to repeal
Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
By all, but which the wise, and great, and good
Interpret, or make felt, or deeply feel.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
