The text from Chapter 15 describes Cholkar's vow to distribute 'sugar candy (khadisakhar)' in Sai Baba's name if he passed his examination. However, when he had to delay fulfilling this vow due to financial difficulties, he decided to give up sugar as a form of penance. The scriptures state, 'Until the vow to Shirdi was fulfilled, Cholkar avoided sugar as an inedible substance, And even drank his tea without sugar.' The text does not specify if the sugar he personally renounced was specifically khadisakhar or sugar in general. What is clear is that he abstained from all forms of sugar in his diet until the vow was completed at Baba's feet.
Did Cholkar give up the same type of sugar (khadisakhar) that he promised to distribute in his vow to Sai Baba?
