Chapter 53 details several difficulties in finishing the book. After Hemadpant's sudden passing, his son Gajanan provided his records, which were vast and written on scraps of paper due to his frugal nature, requiring great research. The promised summary, however, could not be found within these notes. The task of writing a new summary was daunting, as Hemadpant was considered a "jewel among poets." The author who took up the task felt profoundly inadequate, describing themselves as a "fool with a dull intellect" and prayed earnestly to Dattaguru for the grace to complete the work, believing only divine power could accomplish it.
