How did Balabuva Satarkar's payment for the Shirdi festival compare to his usual earnings from the Kavthe festival?

Balabuva Satarkar's payment in Shirdi was exceptionally generous compared to his usual fee. Chapter 6 states that for his annual Kirtan at Siddha-Kavthe, his fee was 30 rupees. When he spoke with Dixit about performing in Shirdi, he was warned there was no certainty about payment. However, after he performed the Ram Navami festival with great love, Sai Baba was pleased and he received an honorarium of more than one hundred and fifty rupees. The text explicitly notes that Baba gave him five years' worth of his Kavthe income in a single festival, which filled Balabuva with immense joy and gratitude.
