In Chapter 38, the author makes a clear transition from the previous chapter's topic. It is mentioned that the Chavadi was described in the prior chapter, and now the reader should listen to the story of the Handi, which grants 'uninterrupted joy.' The author then uses a beautiful analogy, as recorded in Chapter 38, comparing themselves to a small child who knows how to eat but not what to eat. They portray Mother Sai as the one who places the pen in their hand and gets the composition written, just as a mother carefully feeds her child. This sets the stage for the main theme of the chapter: the virtue of food donation (Annadan).
