According to Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra, when did Sai Baba leave his physical body?

Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra provides specific details about the timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. It states that Baba's body passed away during the day on Vijayadashami in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha), in the Shaka year 1840. This day also corresponded to the 9th day of the Muslim month, known as the night of 'Kattal'. The text further specifies that Sainath made preparations for his departure during the third watch of the day. The people of Shirdi, who had enjoyed his company for over half a century, witnessed this profound event, which is considered a sacred death anniversary (Punya Tithi) for devotees.
