Besides the compositions of Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Arjun Dev, Guru Teg Bahadur, Dr. Goyal has done extensive work on the writings of Guru Gobind Singh and the literature produced under his patronage at Anandpur Sahib. While dealing with the contributions of Anandpur to literature by court poets of Guru Gobind Singh, Dr. Goyal has termed it as a specific ‘literary School’, which has an amalgam of devotion and heroism.
Dr. Goyal has done in-depth studies of other Hindi epics poems, available in Gurumukhi script such as ‘Mahima Prakash’, ‘Gurushobha’, ‘Guru Bilas’, ‘Guru Nanak Vijay’, ‘Guru Nanak Prakash’, ‘Guru Pratap Suraj’, ‘Panth Prakash’ and several other compositions of that period.
