How does the author of Shri Sai Satcharitra address the audience at the beginning of Chapter 15, and what does he ask of them?

In Chapter 15, the author addresses the listeners with great humility, requesting their grace and full attention for the upcoming story. He compares the listeners to a vast ocean that accepts all rivers, whether it is the pure water of the Ganges or a muddy village stream. Using this analogy, the author expresses his desire to immerse himself in the listeners and asks them not to rebuke him for this wish. As described in Chapter 15, he believes the listeners' inherent interest in the stories of saints will be fulfilled if they look upon him with grace and listen with patience.
