At what point did Mhalasapati give Maharaj the name 'Sai Baba'?

Mhalasapati gave Maharaj the name 'Sai Baba' at the very moment they first met. As detailed in Chapter 0, after Maharaj arrived with the wedding procession, he entered the Khandoba temple. Mhalasapati, who was a devotee of Khandoba, was present in the temple. The text states that as soon as Mhalasapati saw Maharaj, who was wearing a kafni and cap, he welcomed him with the words "Aavo Sai Baba," meaning "Come, Sai Baba." Maharaj then held that name for the rest of his life.
