Chapter 42 provides several specific chronological details about Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The text states that Baba's body passed away in the Shaka year 1840 on Vijayadashami, which falls in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). This day also corresponded to the 9th day of the Muslim month, noted as the eve of Moharram or the 'night of Kattal'. The chapter further clarifies the exact timing, mentioning that while the day was considered Dussehra, the bell struck at twelve-thirty, marking the completion of the Dashami lunar day (tithi) and the dawning of Ekadashi. Therefore, the actual moment of his departure occurred on Ekadashi.
