| Meitei Script and Scriptures |
By: P. Kunjo Singh * |
In addition to the oral literature of Lai Haraoba, Meiteis also have their own script, literature and scriptures.
The most specific feature of the scriptures is the place of the male and female deities in the religious practices of the Meiteis. The scriptures give the highest place of the Lainuras: Panthoibi and Leimarel Shidabi, the supreme mother and its incarnations as the mother of all kinds of living beings and as the mother of the origin of the Universe: the sun, the planets, the stars, the moon, the earth, etc. After studying these manuscripts, the Meitei religion (Sannamahi faith) may be rightly called the PAKHANGBA LAINING. * P.
