The art of Tulsi owes much to Jain poet Swayambhu Dev (791 A.D.), the composer of the great epic Paumchariu (The Jain Rāmāyana) in Chaupias and Ghattas. The romantic and mystic flavour of Sufi poets like Jayasi owes to Muni Naya Nandi 1100 A.D., through his composition Sudarshan Chariu. Some lines of Kabir resemble with those of Muni Ram Singh (near about 1100 A.D.). Composition of epics in Hindi literature owes its origin to the Jain poets, the most important of which known uptill now, are acquainted herewith along with their works. Banarasidas (1586) was one of the few early prose writers of Hindi. His Ardhakat hānak (autobiography) is the only work of its kind in old Hindi. Pt. Daulatram Jain of Baswa (Madhya Pradesh) translated Jain Padma Purāņa of Ravishenācharya into Khari Boli in 1766 A.D.
