Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides very specific details about the time of Sai Baba's passing. It occurred in the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan). The day was Vijayadashami, which is in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). The text further aligns this with the Islamic calendar, noting it was the 9th day of the Muslim month, on the night of 'Kattal' (the eve of Moharram). The departure took place during the third watch of the day, precisely after twelve-thirty in the afternoon.
Can you provide the specific date and time details of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi as recorded in Chapter 42?
