Can you provide the specific details surrounding the date and time of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi as recorded in the Satcharitra?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 gives a precise account of Sai Baba's passing. It states that his body passed away during the day in the Shaka year 1840, on the day of Vijayadashami in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). This date also coincided with the 9th day of the Muslim month, which is the night of 'Kattal' (the eve of Moharram). The text specifies that Sainath made preparations for his departure during the third watch of the day. It also mentions a nuance in the timing: although the day began as Dashami, the bell struck at twelve-thirty, by which time Dashami had completed and the Ekadashi tithi had dawned, making the moment of departure fall within Ekadashi, as recounted in Chapter 42.
