What historical precedents does Hemadpant cite to justify his belief that Saints inspire their own biographies?

To support the idea that he is merely an instrument for a divine will, the author provides historical examples in Chapter 2. He references the hagiographer Mahipati, from the Shaka year 1700, stating that the Saints 'took service from him' and had their biographies written through him. He then points to a more recent example, Das Ganu, from the Shaka year 1800, who was similarly inspired to write books like 'Bhakta-Lilamrut' and 'Santa-Kathamrut.' By placing himself in this lineage, the author reinforces the idea that Saints often write their own stories by holding the hand of a chosen devotee.
