What historical precedents does the author cite in Chapter 2 to support the idea that saints inspire the writing of their own biographies?

To support the concept of divinely inspired biographies, Chapter 2 cites two key historical precedents. The first is Mahipati, who, in the year 1700 (Shaka), was inspired by saints to take up the service of writing their life stories. The text mentions four of his compositions: Bhakta-Vijay, Santa-Vijay, Bhakta-Lilamrut, and Santa-Lilamrut. The second precedent mentioned is Das Ganu, who continued this service in the year 1800 (Shaka). He is credited with writing two books, Bhakta-Lilamrut and Santa-Kathamrut, which describe the lives of both modern-day devotees and saints, including three chapters on Sai Baba himself.
