How did Sai Baba first meet Chand Patil and what miracle convinced Patil he was a saint?

According to Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the first meeting between Sai Baba and Chand Patil was a chance encounter. Chand Patil, a resident of Dhup village, had lost his mare and was returning home disappointed after a two-month search. On his way, he came across a Fakir, who was Sai Baba, sitting under a mango tree. Baba called out to him and, upon hearing about the lost mare, told Patil exactly where to find her. When Patil returned with the animal, Baba performed a miracle to light his chillum. He thrust a pair of tongs into the earth, pulled out a glowing ember, and placed it on the tobacco. This series of events, as detailed in Chapter 5, convinced Chand Patil that he had met an 'Avaliya' or a great saint, not a mere human.
