Can you detail the circumstances of Sai Baba's arrival in Shirdi as explained in Chapter 39, including the role of Chand Patil?

📖 Chapter 39

Chapter 39 recounts that Sai Baba first appeared in the Nizam State under a mango tree. He arrived in Shirdi unexpectedly with a wedding party from Dhupkheda. A meritorious man from that village named Chand Patil was the first to find this "treasure," and through him, others received Sai's darshan. The chapter alludes to a previous story where Chand Patil had lost his horse, met Sai, and subsequently found his horse. The wedding party that brought Sai to Shirdi was for Chand Patil's nephew. However, the text clarifies that Chand Patil was merely an instrument, and Sai came to Shirdi of his own accord to uplift his devotees.
