Chapter 42 provides a detailed and multi-layered account of the timing of Sai Baba's departure. The text specifies the year as Shaka 1840. The day is identified as Vijayadashami (Dussehra) in the bright half of the month. Significantly, the chapter notes this day coincided with the 9th day of the Muslim month, the night of 'Kattal' (eve of Moharram), highlighting Baba's universal appeal. The specific time of day was the third watch. The text also delves into the nuances of the lunar calendar (tithi), explaining that while the period of Dashami ended, the time of departure was Ekadashi. This meticulous detailing in Chapter 42 underscores the monumental significance of the event.
