Chapter 42 mentions a complexity regarding the lunar day (tithi) of Sai Baba's passing. Can you elaborate on the distinction made between Dashami and Ekadashi on the day of his Mahasamadhi?

Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra provides a nuanced explanation of the timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The day was Vijayadashami, which is the tenth lunar day. However, the chapter clarifies that the bell struck at twelve-thirty, marking the completion of the Dashami tithi. At that point, the Ekadashi tithi (the eleventh lunar day) began. The text explicitly states, 'Ekadashi dawned; the time of departure was Ekadashi.' This distinction is important because while the calendar day was Dussehra (Vijayadashami), the precise astrological moment of Baba's departure occurred during the Ekadashi tithi. This detailed account in Chapter 42 highlights the author's attention to the specific and auspicious timing of this profound event.
