Description:Savant Singh (1694�1764), the Rajput prince of Kishangarh-Rupnagar, is famous for commissioning beautiful works of miniature painting and composing devotional (bhakti) poetry to Krishna under the nom de plume Nagaridas. After his throne was usurped by his younger brother, while Savant Singh was on the road seeking military alliances to regain his kingdom, he composed an autobiographical pilgrimage account, �The Pilgrim�s Bliss� (Tirthananda); a hagiographic anthology, �Garland of Anecdotes about Songs� (Pad-Prasang-mala); and a reworking of the story of Rama, �Garland of Rama�s Story� (Ram-Carit-Mala).Through an examination of Savant Singh�s life and works, Heidi Pauwels explores the circulation of ideas and culture in the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries in north India, revealing how Singh mobilized soldiers but also used myths, songs, and stories about saints in order to cope with his personal and political crisis.
