In Chapter 2, the author provides a lineage of saintly biographies to contextualize his own work. He mentions that in the year 1700 (Shaka), Mahipati was inspired to write four compositions: Bhakta-Vijay, Santa-Vijay, Bhakta-Lilamrut, and Santa-Lilamrut. A century later, in 1800 (Shaka), Das Ganu continued this tradition by writing two books, also named Bhakta-Lilamrut and Santa-Kathamrut. The chapter specifically points out that Das Ganu's Bhakta-Lilamrut describes Sai's life in three chapters and that a story told by Sai can be found in Chapter 57 of Santa-Kathamrut.
