Could you provide details on the character Chand Patil and his initial encounter with Sai Baba?

Chand Patil was the village head of Dhup in the Aurangabad district. Chapter 5 describes him as a fortunate Muslim man who had lost his mare and was searching for her for two months. While traveling back from Aurangabad, feeling disappointed, he encountered a Fakir, who was Sai Baba, under a mango tree. The Fakir, wearing a kafni and holding a short stick (satka), was preparing a chillum and called out to Patil, inviting him to rest and smoke. This meeting marked the beginning of their association and was the precursor to Baba's return to Shirdi.
