Most of what we know of Bahina's life comes from her poetry. She composed 473 abhangas, brief devotional hymns in the Marathi language of Maharashtra. The first 116 of her songs narrate her present life and give a brief description of 12 previous lives; this part of her work is usually called her Atmanivedana, the story of her gradual complete self-dedication to Vishnu. In her 70s and preparing for her final death, Bahina told her story in verse to her son, who wrote it down.
