How did events unfold as the day of Baba's prophecy for Tatya approached?

The narrative in Chapter 42 describes a period of increasing tension as the foretold time neared. Two years after Baba's prophecy, in the Shaka year 1840, Tatyaba fell ill with a fever just as the month of Ashvin began. Simultaneously, Baba himself began to experience tremors, and his own groaning and gasping increased day by day. While Tatya's faith was fixed on Baba, his physical agony was unbearable, and he was bedridden. As Tatya's illness worsened, so did Baba's, becoming uncontrollable. This parallel suffering created immense worry for those who knew of the prediction, like Ramchandra Patil and Bala Shimpi, who believed Baba's words were as if etched in stone.
