How did Sai Baba's followers perceive his divine form? Was he seen as an incarnation of specific Hindu gods like Shiva or Vishnu?

Devotees experienced Sai Baba's divinity in numerous ways, often seeing him as the embodiment of multiple deities. According to a summary of Das Ganu's song in Chapter 4, Baba was perceived as the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The song describes how he would sometimes speak with the creative authority of Brahma, at other times display a fierce form like Rudra (Shiva), and also exhibit the playful nature of Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu. This illustrates that his followers did not limit him to a single form but recognized his 'unfathomable power' and his ability to manifest as different aspects of the one Supreme Being.
