In Chapter 2, the author compares his work to that of previous saint-biographers. Who were they and what is the significance of this comparison?

Chapter 2 draws a parallel between the author's work and the service performed by Mahipati and Das Ganu. The text explains that just as saints inspired Mahipati in the year 1700 (Shaka) to write their biographies, they similarly took service from Das Ganu in the year 1800 (Shaka), who wrote *Bhakta-Lilamrut* and *Santa-Kathamrut*. The significance of this comparison, as detailed in Chapter 2, is to establish a tradition of divine inspiration. The author presents himself not as an originator but as part of a lineage of writers chosen and guided by the saints themselves, suggesting that the Lord writes his own story through an "ignorant person."
