Tansukh had two of his sons living at Anandpur under the patronage of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh. They sent a copy of a translation of <i>Hitopade&#347a</i>, made by one of the Gur&#363's poets, Lakkhan R&#257i, to their father at Ra&#7751thambore. The prosodic forms used by Lakkhan R&#257i were <i>doh&#257</i>, or rhymed couplet, and <i>sora&#7789h&#257</i> or couplet with centre-rhyme. Tansukh decided to reversify the contents using the form <i>chaupa&#299</i> or stanza of short-lined rhymed couplets with other metres interspersed. He completed the work in 1684 and named it <i>R&#257jn&#299t&#299 Granth</i>. Its language is Hindi.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Bhall&#257, Sar&#363p D&#257s, <i>Mahim&#257 Prak&#257sh</i>.
