What can we learn about Hemadpant's character from the description of his writing materials in Chapter 53?

Chapter 53 provides insight into Hemadpant's character through the state of his records. After his passing, his son Gajanan provided his vast writings, which were found to be written on mere scraps of paper. This practice reveals Hemadpant's extremely frugal nature; he "never let a scrap of paper go to waste" and felt pained by any wasteful expenditure. The chapter poetically suggests that Hemadpant felt compassion for these "poor, lifeless scraps of paper" and wanted to redeem them by using them for the noble service of documenting the life of the "Lion among Saints," Baba. This shows his resourcefulness and deep devotion.
