Based on the final chapter, why was the Sai Satcharitra written, and what is its purpose for devotees?

According to Chapter 52, the book "Sai Leela" or Sai Satcharitra was written to remember the experiences Sai Baba gave to His devotees while He was in His physical body. The author, Hemadpant, notes that he was chosen by Sai to write this true life story despite feeling he lacked specialized knowledge. The purpose of the text is described as supremely holy, providing enlightenment for this world and the next. As Chapter 52 further explains, listening to this Satcharitra, especially after taking a holy bath in the Godavari and having darshan of the Samadhi, is said to calm the three types of afflictions and dispel millions of sins for those who look upon the book with love.
