The author of the preface in Chapter 0 makes a clear distinction between prose and poetry for the purpose of devotional reading, stating that 'detailed poetic biographies are most suitable' for study, recitation, Parayan, and Saptah. He notes that prose is difficult to memorize and that there is no tradition of performing Parayans with prose biographies. However, the provided text does not go further to recommend any specific poetic forms, meters, or particular poets to use as a model. The guidance remains general, favoring poetry over prose without specifying the type of poetry.
Given that the author states prose biographies are difficult to memorize and not used for Parayans, does he recommend any specific meter, poetic form, or famous poet to emulate when writing a Sadguru's biography in verse?
