Describe Mhalasapati's specific role and actions during Sai Baba's three-day samadhi.

Chapter 44 highlights Mhalasapati's crucial role during Sai Baba's 1886 trance. Baba specifically and firmly addressed Mhalasapati, telling him not to leave or neglect his body for three days. When Baba's body became motionless, Mhalasapati immediately used his lap as a pillow for Baba's head. He then remained alert, guarding Sai Baba day and night without moving his lap. The text credits Mhalasapati’s wisdom for averting what is called an "ill-fate" (Kuyoga), suggesting his steadfast devotion was essential in protecting Baba during this critical period. Despite Baba's command to dig a samadhi, Mhalasapati's actions focused on guarding the body.
