According to the Satcharitra, what was the significance of the day Sai Baba left his body, and how was it observed?

As narrated in Chapter 42, the day of Sai Baba's passing held multiple layers of significance. The text states it was Vijayadashami (Dussehra), a major Hindu festival. Interestingly, the chapter also mentions that for some, that day was Buddha Jayanti. However, with Baba's departure, the day became his Punya Tithi, or death anniversary. The text draws a parallel, noting that what is a birth anniversary for gods becomes a death anniversary for saints. This highlights the transformation of a day of celebration into a day of solemn remembrance for Baba's devotees.
