Chapter 53 reveals several aspects of Hemadpant's character through his writing process. It describes him as being very frugal, never letting a "scrap of paper go to waste." He would write the chapters on these scraps and send them directly to the printer because he felt pained by wasteful expenditure. The text suggests a deeper, noble intent behind this habit, postulating that Hemadpant's soul wanted to gather these "poor, lifeless scraps of paper" and have them perform service to the "Lion among Saints" (Baba). This illustrates his profound devotion, resourcefulness, and a unique form of service that extended to even the most humble materials.
