According to Chapter 53 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the original author, Hemadpant (Annasaheb Dabholkar), was unable to write the concluding summary because he passed away suddenly. The chapter explains that while Hemadpant had made a promise in the previous chapter to review the work and provide a summary to complete the book, his unexpected death left this task unfinished. This event is presented as an example of a higher power at play, with the text stating, "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful." His passing grieved everyone, and the responsibility of completing the book then fell to another devotee who had to work with Hemadpant's scattered notes.
Why wasn't the final chapter and summary of the Sai Satcharitra written by the original author, Hemadpant?
