In Chapter 47, the author, Hemadpant, expresses deep humility about his role. He states that Sai himself is the true narrator, entering his heart to convey the sacred accounts. The author considers his own name, Hemad, to be "merely a nickname," emphasizing that Sai is the story, the speaker, and the ultimate reality. As mentioned within Chapter 47, he also reflects that though he is the speaker, he is "as empty as you are" if he fails to grasp the inner meaning of the stories. This perspective frames the entire Satcharitra not as a human creation but as a divine discourse flowing through a devoted vessel, showcasing a relationship of complete surrender to the Guru.
