The Shri Sai Satcharita is a work of devotional poetry, specifically written in the Ovi meter, a common form for such texts. As mentioned in Chapter 0, poetic books can be of three types, and this one is considered a 'graceful' (Prasadik) work. The book's organization is quite systematic. Each of the first 51 chapters is generally structured to present Vedanta philosophy, followed by a section on the Guru's glory, and then the main narrative story. Chapter 0 also clarifies that story distribution is flexible, with some chapters holding multiple stories while other stories span several chapters.
From a literary perspective, how is the Shri Sai Satcharita organized, and what poetic style does it use?
