Hemadpant is the name attributed to the author of the "Sai Leela" book, as mentioned at the end of every chapter. Chapter 2 explains that the author was initially a very different person. He describes himself as having been mischievous, talkative, cynical, and critical. He was arrogant about his knowledge, possessing a logic-driven mind that was always proud of its own wisdom and prone to argumentation. The text states he had a "bad intellect" and knew nothing of the greatness of a Satguru. The story of how he received the name "Hemadpant" is promised as a sub-story to satisfy the reader's curiosity.
