I understand the Shri Sai Satcharita was intended to have a specific structure. What was planned for Chapter 52, and why is that content missing from the published version?

πŸ“– Chapter 0πŸ“– Chapter 52

The author, Annasaheb, intended for Chapter 52 of the Shri Sai Satcharita to contain a summary (Simhavalokan) and a conclusion (Avataranika) for the entire work. This was stated in the first chapter. However, the published version of Chapter 52 does not include this summary or conclusion. As explained in Chapter 0, it is believed that the content was lost. Annasaheb had a habit of writing on slips of paper, and it is presumed that the specific slips containing the verses for the intended summary and conclusion were misplaced before publication, leaving the chapter in its current form.
