According to Chapter 53 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the original author, Hemadpant (Dabholkar), was unable to write the concluding summary because he passed away suddenly. The text mentions that while he had made a promise in the previous chapter to review and summarize the book, this did not happen. His sudden death left everyone grieved, and the summary he intended to write could not be found among his papers. Chapter 53 explains that while the general rule is for the author who begins a book to also be the one to complete it, this was an exception where Baba's will was more powerful than man's intention.
Why didn't Hemadpant, the original author, write the concluding summary of the Sai Satcharitra himself?
