Detailed works like the Shri Sai Satcharita are considered more suitable for devotional readings, known as Parayans or Saptahs, primarily because of their comprehensive nature. Chapter 0 notes that some earlier works, such as those by Shri Dasganu Maharaj, were not ideal for this purpose because a specific saint's biography might only span two or three pages, making a dedicated, immersive reading difficult.
