Chapter 2 draws a parallel between the author of the Sai Satcharitra and other authors like Mahipati and Das Ganu. What is this comparison, and what purpose does it serve?

In Chapter 2, the author explains that they are not acting alone but are inspired and guided by a higher power, just as other saintly biographers were. The text explicitly states that saints write their own stories by holding the author's hand. It provides historical examples, noting how Mahipati was inspired in the Shaka year 1700 and how Das Ganu was similarly tasked in the Shaka year 1800 to write the lives of saints. By drawing this parallel, the author places the work within a sacred tradition of divinely inspired writing. This comparison, as presented in Chapter 2, serves to legitimize the text and frame the author as a humble instrument, asserting that Baba himself is the true author.
