Summary

This critical study of Anantadas 'biographies' of 15th and 16th century bhakti poets gives a broad spectrum of the linguistic and morphlogical variants and reveals the process of oral and scribal transmission which allowed sectarian interests to appropriate certain poets and change their 'biographies' accordingly.
