Who is Hemadpant, and why is his story being told?

As explained in Chapter 2, "Hemadpant" is the name attributed to the author of the "Sai Leela" book. The text notes that at the end of every chapter, the words "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" appear. This naturally raises curiosity among listeners and readers about who this person is. The author acknowledges this doubt and promises to tell the sub-story of how he was given this name. He states that listening to this story will reveal its appropriateness and satisfy the audience's curiosity, framing the explanation itself as an inspiration from Sai Baba before the main life story continues.
