Abstract
This chapter focuses on the Sikh response to the Vaishnava bhakti tradition. It examines the two hymns of Jaidev, although he has not received any direct comment from the Sikh Gurus. He is specifically chosen to address the question of whether the author of these two hymns is identical with the author of the celebrated Vaishnava text Gitagovinda. The chapter also discusses two Vaishnava saints, Surdas and Mira Bai. In particular, it considers the single line of Surdas in the Sarang raga that has received a direct comment from Guru Arjan. It also looks at the reasons why Mira Bai's hymn in the Maru raga was deleted from the Adi Granth.
