How did Chand Patil first encounter Sai Baba, and what led to Baba's return to Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 5

According to the narrative in Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, a fortunate Muslim man named Chand Patil from Dhup village had lost his mare. After searching for two months, he was returning home disappointed when he came across a Fakir under a mango tree. This Fakir, who was Sai Baba, was described as wearing a cap and a kafni, with a short stick (satka) under his arm. Baba miraculously told Patil the exact location of his lost mare. This event led Chand Patil to recognize Baba as a great saint. Later, as mentioned in the prologue of Chapter 5, Baba returned to Shirdi within Chand Patil's Muslim wedding party, bringing the hidden "gem" back into the public eye.
