As explained in Chapter 53, the original plan was for the author, Hemadpant, to conclude the book with a comprehensive summary of all the preceding chapters. He had explicitly made this promise. However, this did not happen. Chapter 53 clarifies that Hemadpant unexpectedly passed away before he could write this promised summary. The text presents this as an exception to the general rule that an author should finish their own work, attributing the turn of events to a higher power by stating, "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful." This left the task of compiling the summary to a successor.
