The author pauses the main narrative to explain the origin of his name, "Hemadpant," for a specific reason outlined in Chapter 2. He notes that at the end of every chapter, the words "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" appear, which would naturally make readers curious about this person's identity. He felt he had made a promise to the listeners in the previous chapter to clarify this. The author attributes this diversion to Sai's inspiration, believing it is appropriate to satisfy the audience's curiosity before continuing with Sai's life story. This sub-story serves to introduce himself and provide context for his own transformation.
Can you explain why the author interrupts the story to talk about how he got the name 'Hemadpant'?
