Chapter 42 meticulously records the timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The text specifies that Baba left his body in the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan). The event took place during the daytime on Vijayadashami in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). This chapter also aligns this date with the 9th day of the Muslim month, which was the eve of Moharram, referred to as the night of 'Kattal'. Furthermore, it notes that Sainath made preparations for his departure in the third watch of the day, with the bell striking twelve-thirty as the tithi of Dashami completed and Ekadashi began.
Can you provide the specific details of the date and time of Sai Baba's passing as recorded in Chapter 42?
