Chapter 38 begins with a series of invocations and salutations to various deities, including Lord Ganesha, Goddess Saraswati, and most prominently, Shri Sadguru Sainath. The text praises Sai Baba as the "Granter of joy," "Protector of those who bow," and the "Destroyer of duality." As described in this chapter, he is seen as an incarnation for the benefit of the people, the very mold of Brahman, and the one who makes his devotees desireless. The chapter then transitions from the previous chapter's topic of the Chavadi to introduce the story of the Handi (cooking pot) and the supreme virtue of food donation (Annadan).
