How did Sai Baba fulfill his promise to attend Dev's feast, and what was His reaction to being accused of breaking his word?

Sai Baba fulfilled his promise to attend Dev's Udyapan ceremony by taking on the guise of a Sanyasi. As detailed in Chapter 40, Baba had told Dev he would come with two others, and indeed, a Sanyasi accompanied by two companions arrived for the meal. When Dev later complained to Jog that he had been deceived, Baba was surprised. He explained to Jog that he had been present, asking, 'You did not recognize Me! Why then did you call Me?' Baba reaffirmed the sanctity of his promise by stating, 'for the sake of My word, I would die; but the words from My mouth shall never be otherwise,' showcasing his unwavering commitment to his devotees even when they fail to perceive his grace.
