In Chapter 47, the author, Hemadpant, presents himself as a humble instrument for Sai Baba. He states, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." He further diminishes his own role by asking, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." This passage from Chapter 47 beautifully illustrates the belief that the Satcharitra is not a mere human creation but a divine narration flowing directly from Sai Baba, with Hemadpant acting only as the scribe.
According to Chapter 47, what is Hemadpant's role in writing the Satcharitra, and how is Sai involved?
