As detailed in Chapter 2, both Mahipati and Das Ganu were divinely inspired to write biographies of saints. Mahipati was inspired in the Shaka year 1700 and wrote four notable books: Bhakta-Vijay, Santa-Vijay, Bhakta-Lilamrut, and Santa-Lilamrut. A century later, in the Shaka year 1800, Das Ganu continued this tradition by writing two books, one named Bhakta-Lilamrut and the second Santa-Kathamrut. The text specifically highlights that Das Ganu's Bhakta-Lilamrut contains a three-chapter description of Shri Sai's life, showing a direct lineage of devotional authorship focused on preserving the lives of saints for future generations.
Can you compare the contributions of Mahipati and Das Ganu to the literature on saints as described in the text?
