This the story of Purandara Dasa's wife Saraswati Bai, the woman who transformed a rich miser who sat on wealth for his entire life into a barefoot mendicant Dasa of Sri Hari. Purandasa Dasa, also known as the 'pitamah of Carnatic music', is known to have composed 4,75,000 devotional songs, all attributed to Purandara Vitthala, of which at least 1,000 songs still survive.
