The author of the Satcharitra makes a direct appeal to the listeners in Chapter 15. What is this appeal, and what analogy is used to support it?

In Chapter 15, the author humbly addresses the audience, asking for their grace and attention. The author expresses a desire to 'immerse myself in you,' the good listeners, and asks them not to turn away. To support this appeal, a beautiful analogy is used, comparing the listeners to an ocean. As detailed in the chapter, the author notes that an ocean accepts all rivers without discrimination, stating, 'Whether it be the pure water of the Ganges or the muddy stream of a village, Both find a place in the belly of the ocean.' By using this comparison, the author is requesting that the listeners be equally accepting and accommodating of the stories being presented, to hold space for them in their hearts with the same boundless capacity as the sea.
