Can you describe the specific date and time of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi as detailed in Chapter 42?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra provides precise details about the time of Sai Baba's passing, known as his Mahasamadhi. It occurred in the Shaka year 1840, on the day of Vijayadashami (Dussehra), which fell in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). The text notes that Sainath made his preparations for departure during the third watch of the day. It also correlates this date with the Muslim calendar, stating it was the 9th day of the month of Moharram, the eve of 'Kattal'. The chapter further clarifies the timing by mentioning the bell struck at twelve-thirty, when the Dashami tithi was completed and Ekadashi had just begun, establishing the time of departure within the Ekadashi period.
