According to Chapter 2, who were some of the other authors who wrote about Sai Baba and other saints before this new text was written, and what were their works?

Chapter 2 explains that several works about saints and Sai Baba already existed. For instance, in the year 1800 (Shaka), Das Ganu was inspired to write biographies of saints, much like Mahipati was in the year 1700 (Shaka). Das Ganu authored two key books: 'Bhakta-Lilamrut' and 'Santa-Kathamrut'. As described in this chapter, the sweet life of Shri Sai is detailed in three chapters of 'Bhakta-Lilamrut', and a specific knowledge-story told by Sai is in Chapter 57 of 'Santa-Kathamrut'. The chapter also mentions Raghunath-Savitri’s 'Bhajanmala', miscellaneous poems by Das Ganu, works by Amidas and Bhavani Metha for Gujarati devotees, and a series of stories called 'Sai Prabha' published in Pune.
