How did Sai Baba first arrive in Shirdi, and who was the person responsible for giving him his famous name?

According to the introduction in Chapter 0, Sai Baba, then known as Maharaj, arrived in Shirdi as part of a wedding procession for the nephew of Chandbhai's wife. The procession stopped near the Khandoba temple, where he met a goldsmith named Mhalasapati. Upon seeing Maharaj wearing a kafni and cap, Mhalasapati greeted him with the words "Aavo Sai Baba," which means "Come, Sai Baba." The text confirms that Maharaj held onto this name, "Sai Baba," for the rest of his life, even stating in a commission when asked his name, "They call me Sai Baba."
