The description of the miraculous works of Sripad Srivallabh and Narsinha Sarswati, the incarnations of Lord Dattatreya, are narrated in the metrically composed (‘Ovi’ form of poetry) book ‘Gurucharitra’ written by Saraswat Gangadhar. This book is considered as spellbound ‘Gurucharitra’. ‘Gurucharitra’ is thoroughly read and recited by the devotees in a prescribed manner. Innumerable devotees have attained wonderful and miraculous experiences by reading ‘Gurucharitra’. Saraswat Gandhar, the descendent of Naganath, the son of Sayamdeo, composed this Book in the year 1440, as per Hindu calendar, and the year 1518 as per English Calendar.

Due to Lord Dattatreya and his incarnations and the recitation of Gurucharitra, innumerable miserable and distressed devotees have been emancipated.
