Chapter 42 provides precise details about the timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The event took place in the Shaka year 1840, on the day of Vijayadashami, which is also known as Dussehra. The text further specifies that this corresponded to the 9th day of the Muslim month, on the eve of Moharram. As documented in Chapter 42, Sainath made his final preparations for departure during the third watch of the day. The bell struck twelve-thirty, marking the moment the Dashami tithi (lunar day) was completed and the Ekadashi tithi began, which is considered the time of his departure.
