According to Chapter 5, who was Devidas and what was his interaction with the Fakir?

Devidas was a wise man who, as mentioned in Chapter 5, had settled in Shirdi twelve years before Baba's return with the wedding party. He was regarded as a Guru by prominent villagers like Tatyaba, Kashinath, and others. He actively taught scriptures, such as the Venkatesh Stotra, to locals like Appa Bhill. The key interaction described in this chapter is a scriptural debate held between Devidas and a young Fakir, who was Sai Baba. Devidas, with his knowledge and detachment, defeated the Fakir in this debate, which led to the Fakir leaving Shirdi for Vaijapur. This event sets up a later reunion where the Fakir returns with humility.
