Why does the author feel the need to explain the origin of the name 'Hemadpant', and what context does he provide for the story?

The author decides to explain the origin of the name 'Hemadpant' to satisfy the natural curiosity of his readers. As noted in Chapter 2, the phrase "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" appears at the end of every chapter, prompting the question of who this person is. Believing it to be Sai's inspiration, the author pauses the main narrative to tell this sub-story. He provides context by first describing his former self as cynical, arrogant, and critical, which contrasts sharply with the humility required for devotion, thereby setting the stage to explain the significance of his naming ceremony.
