Chapter 42 mentions the transition between lunar days (tithis) during Baba's passing. How is this event described?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

The account in Chapter 42 provides a precise description of the lunar day, or tithi, at the moment of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The text notes that the bell struck around twelve-thirty, and at that exact time, the period of the Dashami tithi was completed. Immediately, the Ekadashi tithi dawned, meaning the actual time of Baba's departure occurred on Ekadashi. The author of Chapter 42 clarifies this by explaining that while the tithi at sunrise (Dashami) is considered for the festival of Dussehra, the specific moment of passing fell on the subsequent tithi of Ekadashi.
