Why does the author pause the narrative to explain how he received the name 'Hemadpant'?

The author interrupts the main life story of Sai Baba to address a natural curiosity he anticipates from the readers. In Chapter 2, he acknowledges that since every chapter ends with the line "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant," listeners would inevitably wonder who this 'Pant' is. He felt it was his duty to satisfy this curiosity, framing it as an inspiration from Sai Baba himself. He mentions that remembering Sai's words against dualistic explanations reminded him of a promise made in the first chapter to tell this sub-story, assuring readers that its telling is appropriate before continuing with the main sequence.
