Why does the author interrupt the main story to explain how he got the name 'Hemadpant'?

The author pauses the main narrative to address a point of curiosity he anticipates from his readers. As explained in Chapter 2, the name "Hemadpant" appears at the end of every chapter, and the author felt a natural doubt would arise about who this person is. He decided to satisfy that curiosity by telling the sub-story of his naming ceremony. He attributes this decision to Sai's inspiration and also notes that it fulfills a promise he made to the listeners at the end of the first chapter. The decision to insert this story was specifically triggered by remembering Sai Baba's words, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations," which made him reflect on his own journey and the significance of the name.
