Can you provide a detailed timeline of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi based on the specific dates and times mentioned in Chapter 42?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 meticulously documents the timing of Sai Baba's departure. The text specifies the event occurred in the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan). It was on Vijayadashami in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). This chapter also aligns this with the Islamic calendar, noting it as the 9th date of the Muslim month, on the night of 'Kattal'. Sainath began preparations for his departure in the third watch of the day. A point of clarification is made regarding the lunar day (tithi), noting that while the bell struck at twelve-thirty completing the Dashami period, the Ekadashi tithi had already dawned, making the precise time of departure Ekadashi.
