Chapter 42 provides a very specific account of Sai Baba leaving his body. It occurred in the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan). The day was Vijayadashami, which falls in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). The text also aligns this with the 9th date of the Muslim month, noting it was the night of 'Kattal' (the eve of Moharram). Sainath made preparations for his departure in the third watch of the day. The chapter further clarifies the timing by stating the bell struck at twelve-thirty, completing the Dashami tithi, and that the actual time of departure fell on Ekadashi.
Can you provide the precise details and timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi as documented in Chapter 42?
