Chapter 42 mentions both Vijayadashami (Dashami) and Ekadashi in relation to Sai Baba's passing. How does the text explain this overlap?

📖 Chapter 42

The text in Chapter 42 addresses the specific timing of the lunar days (tithis) on the day Sai Baba left his body. It explains that while the day itself was considered Dussehra, which is on the Dashami tithi, the period of Dashami was completed at twelve-thirty in the afternoon. At that moment, the bell struck, and the next lunar day, Ekadashi, dawned. The chapter explicitly states, 'The time of departure was Ekadashi.' This clarifies that although the sunrise tithi made the day Vijayadashami, the actual moment of Baba's passing occurred after the Ekadashi tithi had begun.
