Why does the author of the Sai Satcharitra pause the story to talk about his name, Hemadpant?

πŸ“– Chapter 2

The author explains this narrative pause in Chapter 2. He states that upon writing Baba's advice, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations," he remembered a promise he made to the readers at the end of the first chapter. He had promised to tell the story of how he was given the name "Hemadpant." Since this name appears at the end of every chapter, the author acknowledges that it would naturally make readers curious about its origin. He views this digression not as a simple detour but as an inspiration from Sai himself, intended to satisfy the listeners' curiosity before continuing with the main account of Sai's life.
