Chapter 5 mentions a "scriptural debate." Who was involved and what was the outcome?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describes a scriptural debate that took place in Shirdi. The two individuals involved were Devidas, a wise man who had settled in Shirdi and was considered a Guru by many, and an unnamed Fakir. The text explicitly states that the Fakir was brought before Devidas for this debate. The outcome was a decisive victory for Devidas. According to the account in Chapter 5, Devidas defeated the Fakir with his detachment, which caused the Fakir to flee from Shirdi and go to Vaijapur. This event established Devidas's spiritual and intellectual standing in the community at the time.
