How does the author of Chapter 15 address the audience, and what is the nature of their request?

In Chapter 15, the author addresses the listeners with great humility, asking them to show grace and give their full attention to the stories. The author compares the audience to a vast ocean that accepts all rivers, whether it be the pure water of the Ganges or a muddy village stream. This comparison is used to support the author's request not to be rebuked for their desire to immerse themselves in the listeners. As stated in Chapter 15, the author believes the listeners' inherent interest in the stories of saints will be fulfilled by looking upon the narrative with grace.
