According to Chapter 53 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the original author, Hemadpant, was unable to write the promised summary because he suddenly passed away. The chapter explains that although Hemadpant had made a promise to review the work and provide a summary to complete the book, his untimely death prevented this. This event is presented as an exception to the general rule that the one who starts a book should also be the one to finish it. The text emphasizes that this outcome demonstrates a higher power at play, stating, "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful."
