Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides specific details about when Sai Baba left his body. It occurred in the Shaka year 1840, on the day of Vijayadashami during the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). This corresponded to the 9th date of the Muslim month, which is the eve of Moharram. The text further clarifies that the event took place during the third watch of the day, with the bell striking twelve-thirty. There's a note about the lunar day, mentioning that while the Dashami period was completed, the actual time of departure fell on Ekadashi.
Can you tell me the exact date and time Sai Baba left his body, according to the Satcharitra? I'm trying to understand the different calendar systems mentioned.
