Chapter 2 acknowledges several other contemporary works about Sai Baba. It specifically mentions Das Ganu, who wrote about Sai in his books Bhakta-Lilamrut and Santa-Kathamrut. The sweet life of Sai is described in three chapters of Bhakta-Lilamrut. Other sources cited include Raghunath-Savitri’s Bhajanmala, miscellaneous poems by Das Ganu, works by Amidas and Bhavani Metha for Gujarati devotees, and a series of stories published in Pune under the name Sai Prabha. The author justifies this new text by explaining that Sai’s life is an infinite ocean, and their work is simply one more attempt to capture a part of it, believing that one should find satisfaction in whatever can be told.
