Chapter 42 provides precise details about the time of Sai Baba's passing. It occurred in the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan). The specific day was Vijayadashami, which falls in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). The event took place during the third watch of the day. The text further clarifies the exact time by stating that the bell struck twelve-thirty, marking the completion of the Dashami tithi (lunar day) and the beginning of the Ekadashi tithi. Therefore, Baba's departure from his body happened during the Ekadashi tithi.
