Why does the author pause the story of Sai to tell the story of how he was named 'Hemadpant'?

The author pauses the main narrative to explain the origin of his name, "Hemadpant," in order to satisfy the reader's natural curiosity. In Chapter 2, he acknowledges that since every chapter ends with the attribution "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant," a doubt about the identity of this person would surely arise in the listener's mind. He felt it was appropriate to address this by telling the sub-story of his naming ceremony. He views this digression not as his own idea, but as another form of Sai's inspiration. By providing this context about himself, he enriches the overall narrative before continuing with the main sequence of Sai Baba's life story.
