The latter part of the prayer in Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra beautifully describes Sai Baba's transformative impact on Shirdi. The author expresses that it was the great fortune and merit of Shirdi that Baba arrived and chose to reside there. The text explicitly states that by His presence, Sai Baba made Shirdi a "holy pilgrimage site (Kshetra)." This portion of Chapter 26 portrays Baba as a merciful being who adorned the place with His presence, making it fortunate and sacred for all devotees. It highlights how a simple village was elevated to a holy destination solely through the grace and residence of the Sadguru, Sai Baba.
