How does Chapter 39 describe the transformation of the village of Shirdi due to Sai's presence?

Chapter 39 of the Sai Satcharitra paints a vivid picture of Shirdi's transformation. It begins by declaring the village "blessed, blessed," emphasizing that it was initially a small place. The chapter attributes its subsequent greatness and holiness directly to the "company of Sai." The text explicitly states that because of Sai, Shirdi "became exceedingly holy" and "attained the status of a place of pilgrimage." This chapter also praises the people of Shirdi, particularly the women, whose singular faith is shown through their songs about the extraordinary Sai, which they sang while doing daily tasks, further illustrating the profound impact Sai had on the village's spiritual atmosphere.
