How does Chapter 2 connect the writing of the Sai Satcharitra to a historical tradition of saintly biographies?

Chapter 2 places the author's work within a historical lineage of divinely inspired biographical writing. The author humbly states that saints themselves write their own stories through an 'ignorant person' like him. To support this, he cites two historical precedents: Mahipati, who was inspired in the Shaka year 1700 to write saintly biographies like 'Bhakta-Vijay,' and Das Ganu, who performed a similar service in the Shaka year 1800 with his books 'Bhakta-Lilamrut' and 'Santa-Kathamrut.' By referencing these figures, the author frames his own writing not as a personal achievement but as part of a sacred tradition.
