According to the text, why did Hemadpant not complete the Shri Sai Satcharitra, and what details does Chapter 53 provide about his character and work habits?

📖 Chapter 53

Chapter 53 explains that Hemadpant did not complete the Shri Sai Satcharitra because he suddenly passed away, leaving his promise to write a concluding summary unfulfilled. This chapter provides insight into his character, describing him as a 'jewel among poets' whose words were full of divine blessing. It also highlights his unique work habits, noting that he was very frugal and 'never let a scrap of paper go to waste.' He would write chapters on these scraps and give them directly to the printer. The text suggests this was born from a noble intent to have even these 'poor, lifeless scraps of paper' redeemed through service to Baba.
