After a profound introduction discussing the nature of Sai and the power of his stories, the author makes a distinct transition to begin a new narrative. As seen in Chapter 36, having established that Sai uses the speaker as a pretext to fulfill devotees' desires and that listening to the stories purifies all, the author concludes the philosophical preamble with the phrase, "Let it be; now listen respectfully to the most holy life story of Sai (Sai Charitra)." This line serves as a clear pivot. Immediately following this call to attention, the chapter introduces a new story with the simple heading, "The Two Gentlemen from Goa," and the sentence, "Two gentlemen from Goa came for Sai’s darshan," officially starting the next anecdote.
