Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides precise details about Baba's passing. It states that he left his body in the Shaka year 1840, during the day on Vijayadashami in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). This day also coincided with the 9th date of the Muslim month, which is the eve of Moharram, referred to as the night of 'Kattal'. The text specifies the time of his departure as twelve-thirty, during the third watch of the day, noting that while the day was considered Dussehra, the Ekadashi lunar day (tithi) had technically begun at that moment.
