Can you compare what Balabuva Satarkar would have earned in Kavthe to what he received in Shirdi?

There was a significant difference between Balabuva Satarkar's earnings. For his annual performance at Kavthe, his fee was 30 rupees, part of a larger imperial decree. However, that year's service was cancelled due to a plague. In stark contrast, after performing the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi, Sai Baba ensured he received an honorarium of 'more than a hundred and fifty' rupees. Chapter 6 explicitly states that this single payment was equivalent to five years' worth of his income from Kavthe, which made Balabuva immensely happy and grateful.
