Chapter 42 mentions a conflict in the lunar day (tithi) on the day of Baba's passing. Can you explain this detail?

Yes, Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra highlights a specific astronomical detail regarding the day of Baba's Mahasamadhi. While the day is broadly referred to as Vijayadashami, the text clarifies that the period of the Dashami tithi (the tenth lunar day) was completed around twelve-thirty in the afternoon. At that point, the Ekadashi tithi (the eleventh lunar day) dawned. Therefore, the chapter points out that although the sunrise tithi is often used to name the day, the actual time of Baba's departure occurred during Ekadashi. This meticulous detail underscores the significance of the precise moment of the saint's final journey.
