Who is identified as the true narrator of the accounts in Chapter 47, and what role does Hemad play?

Chapter 47 explicitly identifies Sai Baba as the true source and narrator of the stories. The text poetically states, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." It reinforces this by saying that Sai Samarth is simultaneously the story, the speaker, and the face of the narration. In this divine process, the author Hemad is depicted as a mere instrument or a "nickname," diminishing his role as a creator. As explained in Chapter 47, this implies the stories are considered divine revelations channeled through Hemad, not products of his own imagination.
