According to Chapter 39, how did Sai Baba first arrive in Shirdi and what was Chand Patil's role in it?

📖 Chapter 39

According to the narrative in Chapter 39 of the Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's initial arrival in Shirdi was connected to a man named Chand Patil from Dhupkheda. Sai first appeared under a mango tree in the Nizam State and later accompanied the wedding party of Chand Patil's nephew to Shirdi, where the bride's family lived. While Chand Patil was the one who first found this 'treasure' (Sai), the chapter makes it clear that he was simply an instrument in a larger divine plan. The text states that Sai came to Shirdi of his own accord, driven by a great concern for the spiritual upliftment of his devotees.
