Based on Chapter 5, what happened during the scriptural debate and what was the ultimate outcome for the Fakir?

📖 Chapter 5

The source material from Chapter 5 explains that a Fakir was brought before Devidas, a wise man in Shirdi, for a scriptural debate. With his superior detachment and wisdom, Devidas defeated the Fakir. Humiliated, the Fakir fled and went to live in Vaijapur. However, the story provides a longer-term outcome. As Chapter 5 narrates, after many years had passed, this same Fakir returned to Shirdi. By this time, his 'delusion that he was the Guru and Sai was the disciple was all dispelled.' He became pure through repentance and bowed to Sainath, who treated him with respect.
