Hemadpant is the name attributed to the author of the 'Sai Leela' book. The text explains that the phrase 'Composed by the devotee Hemadpant' appears at the end of every chapter, which would naturally make readers curious about his identity. As described in Chapter 2, the author includes the story of how he received this name to satisfy this curiosity. He considers this digression to be an inspiration from Sai himself. The naming story serves as a sub-story meant to address the reader's questions before the main narrative of Sai's life continues.
