He worked for some time as a scribe for the village of Taharabad in Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra and also for a Mughal landlord. Although he played down his abilities, his hagiographies of the Varkari sants, based at least in part on earlier works by Nabhadas and Uddhava Ciddhan, are still considered to be the most authoritative.
An English translation of Bhaktavijay, originally written by Mahipati around 1762, was published under the provisions of the will of Justin E. Abbott in 1933.
