Can you provide a detailed account of the specific date and time of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi as described in Chapter 42?

📖 Chapter 42

According to Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's body passed away during the day on Vijayadashami. The text provides several concurrent details about the timing. It was the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan), and it occurred in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). The text also aligns this with the 9th date of the Muslim month, which was the night of 'Kattal' (the eve of Moharram). The specific time of his departure preparations was during the third watch of the day. The chapter further clarifies that while the period of the Dashami tithi completed at twelve-thirty, the actual time of departure fell under the Ekadashi tithi.
