Hindu asap working out his sacred text (9)
I believe the answer is:
upanishad
'out his sacred text' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'hindu asap working' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'hindu'+'asap'='hinduasap'
'hinduasap' anagrammed gives 'UPANISHAD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for upanishad that I've seen is " text in Sanskrit".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
