Can you summarize the story told in Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra about Devidas and the Fakir?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra narrates an interesting story involving a scholar named Devidas who had settled in Shirdi twelve years before Baba arrived with the wedding party. As detailed in this chapter, Devidas was considered a Guru by many, including Tatyaba. A Fakir was brought before him, and after a scriptural debate, Devidas defeated the Fakir, who then fled to Vaijapur. Years later, the Fakir returned and bowed to Sainath, his delusion of being a Guru to Sai dispelled. This entire episode, which highlights Baba's humility and profound play, was made known by the great devotee Mahalsapati, as mentioned in Chapter 5.
