Who are some of the historical poets mentioned as authors of saints' biographies in Maharashtra, and what are their limitations for certain devotional practices?

πŸ“– Chapter 0

Chapter 0 highlights the ancient tradition of writing Guru biographies in India, specifically mentioning two famous Maharashtrian poets who wrote in the Ovi meter. The world-renowned poet Maharaj Shri Mahipati wrote 'Shri Bhaktalilamrut' and 'Shri Santalilamrut'. Later, the poet Shri Dasganu Maharaj also wrote works including 'Shri Bhaktalilamrut' and 'Shri Bhaktisaramrut'. While one can perform a Parayan (devotional reading) of these entire collections, the text notes a limitation: if a devotee wishes to perform a Saptah (week-long reading) for a single saint, these works are not ideal because the individual biographies within them are often brief, spanning only two or three pages.
