<br/><br/> This book presents translations of eight closely related 18th- and 19th-century Bengali folk tales centered on Satya P�ir and the people he helps. While the worship of Satya P�ir is the ostensible motivation for the tales, they really demonstrate his miraculous powers, which authenticate him as a legitimate object of worship.
