According to Chapter 44, what specific activities did Sai Baba engage in just before his Mahasamadhi, and what was the immediate aftermath?

As narrated in Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba, knowing his end was near, undertook a specific spiritual practice. For fourteen consecutive days and nights, he had a Brahmin read the Ramayana to him with focused contemplation. This period concluded on the day of Vijayadashami, when Baba passed away. The chapter details the immediate aftermath: Laxman-mama performed worship, and Jog performed the Aarti with a lamp. Following this, a period of twenty-six hours began where his Hindu and Muslim followers deliberated on how to handle the final rites for his physical body, unsure of the next steps.
