Besides the account of Baba's Mahasamadhi, what other stories or topics does Chapter 42 introduce or recap?

📖 Chapter 42

While the main focus of Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra is the account of Baba leaving his body, it also serves as a bridge from the previous chapter and sets the stage for its own narrative. It begins by recapping two wondrous stories of divine play from the prior chapter: one where Sai's portrait was immersed in water yet remained miraculously protected, and another where a devotee's desire was fulfilled when Sai appeared in a dream to give him permission to read the Dnyaneshwari. The chapter also explicitly states its intention to describe Sai's nature—exploring whether his mind was intense or soft—and to reinforce the idea that the Guru's grace is the key to overcoming worldly fears.
