This joy manifested as a 'flood of love' that he felt compelled to express in poetic form. Beyond personal expression, he states that the purpose of writing this holy life story is to create something instructive for devotees that will guide them on a righteous path. As detailed in Chapter 2, he believes these stories will help destroy sins and provide happiness for the reader in both this world and the next.
