Why does the author pause the main story to explain the origin of the name 'Hemadpant'?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 2

The author, whose writings are signed "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" at the end of each chapter, pauses the main narrative to address the reader's natural curiosity about this name. As explained in Chapter 2, he feels it is appropriate to tell this "sub-story within the story" for a few reasons. Firstly, he recalls a promise made at the end of the first chapter to provide this explanation. Secondly, he believes that sharing this story is not a mere digression but is itself an "inspiration" from Sai Baba. By satisfying the reader's curiosity about his identity, he can then continue the sequence of Sai's life story with the listener's full attention.
