According to Chapter 53, the original author, Panta Hemad (Dabholkar), had indeed promised to provide a summary to complete the book. However, this did not happen because he suddenly passed away, leaving his work unfinished. The text explains that while it is a general rule for the author who begins a book to be the one to complete it, there are exceptions, and this was one such case. It is noted that "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful." Even after searching through Hemadpant's records, the promised summary could not be found, leaving the task to a successor.
Why didn't the original author, Hemadpant, finish the Shri Sai Satcharitra with the summary he promised?
