How does the author of the Sai Satcharitra portray his role in the storytelling process within Chapter 47?

In Chapter 47, the author, Hemadpant, expresses great humility regarding his role. He asserts that he is not the true originator of the stories. The chapter states that Sai is the "eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears," and that Sai himself enters the author's heart to narrate the accounts. Hemadpant goes so far as to say, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." This passage from Chapter 47 reinforces the idea that the author is simply an empty instrument, and the wisdom and narratives flow directly from the divine source, Shri Sai, for the benefit of the devotees.
