Kurzbeschreibung
During the past few decades some lengthy studies have been devoted to Dadu and the Dadupanth. When writing a biography of Dadu, authors often give a list of sources without apparently having consulted the works they mention, with the result that most literature on the subject now available is to a great extent merely the result of copying from earlier writers. A critical edition of the Hindi Biography of Dadu, the originator of the Dadupanth sect of North India is attempted in this book.
