Chapter 53 details several reasons for the delay in writing the summary. The main cause was the sudden death of the original author, Hemadpant, who had intended to write it himself. His passing left everyone grieved and unsure of what to do. Although his son, Gajananrao, provided his extensive records, the summary was not found within them. Later, as mentioned in Chapter 53, Babasaheb Tarkhad announced a deadline for its completion in the Shri Sai Leela magazine, but the deadline passed without the summary appearing, highlighting the difficulty in finding a successor who could match Hemadpant's poetic and spiritual brilliance.
Why was there a delay in producing the book's summary after Hemadpant's death?
