In Chapter 47, the author, referred to as Hemad, presents himself as a humble scribe rather than a creator. He explicitly states that Sai Baba is the true source of the narrative. The text says, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." This sentiment is reinforced when the author rhetorically asks, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." By taking on this role, Hemadpant emphasizes that the wisdom and stories are divine in origin, flowing directly from Sai Baba, and he is simply the chosen instrument for recording them for the benefit of all devotees.
