Who was originally supposed to write the summary for the Shri Sai Satcharitra, and what prevented them from completing it?

📖 Chapter 53

The original author, Govind Raghunath Dabholkar, known as Hemadpant, had promised to provide a summary to conclude the book. However, as Chapter 53 explains, he suddenly passed away before he could fulfill this promise. The text notes that while it is a general rule for an author to complete their own book, this was an exception. It is stated that "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful," suggesting that Hemadpant's inability to finish the work was part of a divine plan. His son, Shri Gajanan, later provided his father's records, but the promised summary was not found among them.
