After Hemadpant's passing, the task of writing the summary fell to a new, unnamed author. As described in Chapter 53, this author felt deeply inadequate and overwhelmed by the responsibility. He expresses his humility and lack of confidence, calling himself a "fool with a dull intellect" with "no scent of knowledge" and admitting he is "blind to poetry from the start." Feeling dejected, he turned to prayer, begging Lord Dattaguru and Sai-Narayana for mercy and inspiration. He believed he had no strength to compose the work himself and that Sai, the "breaker of obstacles," would be the true author, using the writer's mouth as "merely an instrument."
