According to Chapter 47, who is the true narrator of the stories in the Sai Satcharitra, and what is Hemadpant's role?

In Chapter 47, the author Hemadpant humbly clarifies the source of the stories. He states that Sai Samarth himself is the ultimate origin of the narratives, being "the story, the speaker, and the face." The text suggests that Sai Baba enters the author's heart and narrates the accounts directly. This divine inspiration means there is no shortage of stories, comparing the situation to sitting on the shore of an ocean. As Chapter 47 reveals, Hemadpant views his own role as minimal, stating that "Hemad" is "merely a nickname" and that he is just a vessel for the stories that flow from Sai's grace.
