What lesson did the author learn from being called 'Hemadpant', and how did it relate to figures like Rama and Krishna?

The author explains in Chapter 2 that the name 'Hemadpant' was a "speech-arrow" aimed at destroying his pride and tendency to engage in debates. He came to see it as a valuable lesson that debating is a harmful trait. To reinforce this point, he reflects on how even divine incarnations required a Guru. Lord Rama, despite being an incarnation of God, held the feet of his Guru Vasistha. Similarly, Lord Krishna, the form of the Supreme Brahman, served his Guru Sandipani by gathering wood. The author then questions himself, saying "Then what of me? Why should I debate?", concluding that if such great beings showed humility, he certainly must remain humble and avoid argumentation.
