Based on the detailed account provided in Chapter 42, Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi occurred on a very specific day and time. The text states this happened in the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan). The specific day was Vijayadashami in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). This chapter also aligns this date with the Muslim calendar, noting it was the 9th date, on the eve of Moharram, referred to as the night of 'Kattal'. The departure itself took place during the third watch of the day, after the bell struck twelve-thirty.
According to the text, on what specific date and time did Sai Baba leave his body?
