How did the village of Shirdi change due to Sai Baba's presence, according to Chapter 39?

Chapter 39 of the Sai Satcharitra glorifies the transformation of Shirdi. It states that the village was initially small but became great and exceedingly holy through its association with Sai Baba, ultimately attaining the status of a place of pilgrimage. The chapter describes Shirdi as "blessed" because Sai, the holy and pure, moved within its Dwarkamai building until his last breath. The people of Shirdi are also considered blessed because Sai Baba came from a great distance to place them under his grace.
