How does Chapter 53 describe Hemadpant's personality and his unique writing process?

📖 Chapter 53

Chapter 53 portrays the original author, Hemadpant (also called Annasaheb), as a frugal and skillful man who was a "jewel among poets." A unique aspect of his character described in this chapter was his extreme frugality; he would never let a scrap of paper go to waste. The text describes how he wrote chapters on these scraps and sent them directly to the printer, as he felt pained by wasteful expenditure. Chapter 53 suggests his noble intent might have been to redeem these "poor, lifeless scraps of paper" by having them perform service to Sai Baba. Even the final chapter was found written on such scraps.
