Chapter 2 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that saints often inspire others to write their biographies, making the writer a mere instrument. It provides the example of Mahipati, who was inspired in the year 1700 (Shaka) to write four books: Bhakta-Vijay, Santa-Vijay, Bhakta-Lilamrut, and Santa-Lilamrut. Following this tradition, as mentioned in the chapter, Das Ganu was similarly inspired in the year 1800 (Shaka) and wrote two books, also titled 'Bhakta-Lilamrut' and 'Santa-Kathamrut,' which describe modern-day devotees and saints.
