His maiden work Raj Dharam (1884), written at the instance of Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha, was followed by Nanak Bhavarth Dipika (1888), an exegesis of extracts from the Hanuman Natak, based on his notes prepared for the instruction of the young prince under his tutelage.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Among the other obscure but worthwhile works are Balmiki Ramayana, Tulsi Ramayan, Mahabharata, Gita, Rama, Krishna, Upanishads, Puranas, Yog Vasishtha, Gulistan, Bostan, Hanuman Natak and Mudra Rakshas (a unique historical play in Sanskrit dealing with Kautilya and Chandragupt Maurya).

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->These are aesthetic versions of medieval Indian miniature painting. The Janam Sakhi of Bhai Bala and Damdami Bir dating back to 1702 bears lavish use of attractive colour and gold.
Also on display are a rare Bhagvat Purana and Hanuman Natak (1623) scripted in Gurmukhi.
