Could you provide the specific details about the date and time of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi as recorded in the Satcharitra?

📖 Chapter 42

According to Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's body passed away during the day in the Shaka year 1840. The text specifies this occurred in the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan) on Vijayadashami, which is the tenth day of the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). In the Muslim calendar, this corresponded to the 9th date, on the eve of Moharram, known as the night of 'Kattal'. The event took place during the third watch of the day. The chapter also notes a specific detail about the lunar day (tithi), explaining that while the Dashami period was completed at twelve-thirty and Ekadashi began, the day is considered by the tithi at sunrise, making it Dussehra.
