Kavi Santokh Singh (8 October 1787 – 19 October 1843 or 1844) was a Sikh literati, poet, hagiographer, and historian.[2][3] Santokh Singh was such a prolific writer that the Sikh Reference Library at Darbar Sahib Amritsar was named after him, located within the Mahakavi Santokh Singh Hall.[4] In addition to "Great Poet" (Mahākavī) Santokh Singh was also referred to as the Ferdowsi of Punjabi literature, Ferdowsi wrote ~50,000 verses while Santokh Singh's Suraj Prakash totals ~52,000. [5] Other scholars have thought of Santokh Singh as akin to Vyasa.[6] Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner in 1883 wrote that, "Santokh Singh of Kantal in the Karnal District, has rendered his name immortal" through the production of his works.[7]
