The preface to the Shri Sai Satcharita describes the work as not just a biography, but an 'excellent succulent poem.' As detailed in Chapter 0, its style shows the influence of Shri Eknathi Bhagavata. The modern scholar Nanasaheb Vaidya even honored the author, Annasaheb, with the title 'Mahipati.' The text is said to be full of 'illustrations, metaphors, ornaments, and aesthetic fulfillment,' achieving a high standard where, as Dnyaneshwar Maharaj wrote, poetry's beauty is its aesthetic taste, and the beauty of that taste is the 'touch of the Supreme Truth.'
