The preface in Chapter 0 clarifies that while poets like Shri Dasganu Maharaj included biographies of saints in their works, these were often not comprehensive. For a specific saint, the biography might only span two or three pages, which is not sufficient for a dedicated Parayan or Saptah (a week-long reading). In contrast, a work that is highly suitable is the Shri Sai Satcharita, written by Annasaheb Dabholkar. As Chapter 0 describes, this is a sweet, inspirational, and grace-filled biography that was published chapter by chapter, resulting in a detailed and comprehensive work perfect for study and devotional readings by Sai Baba's followers.
The text mentions that some biographies of saints are not comprehensive enough for Parayans. Can you explain this and provide an example of a work that is suitable?
