The final summary in Chapter 53 was completed by a different author after Hemadpant's passing. This author expresses deep humility and a sense of inadequacy for the task. As described in Chapter 53, they felt dejected and considered themselves a "fool with a dull intellect" who was "blind to poetry from the start." They prayed earnestly to Dattaguru and Sai-Narayana for mercy and inspiration, believing they had no strength of their own to compose the work. The author ultimately concluded that Sai himself would be the true writer, using the author's mouth merely as an instrument to complete the sacred text.
Who finished the Sai Satcharitra, and what was their mindset when writing the conclusion?
