How does Chapter 39 of Sai Satcharitra describe the significance of Shirdi and Sai Baba's arrival?

πŸ“– Chapter 39

Chapter 39 begins by glorifying the village of Shirdi, calling it blessed and noting its transformation into a great and holy place of pilgrimage due to Sai Baba's presence in the Dwarkamai. The chapter praises the people of Shirdi, especially the women who sang songs of Sai with singular faith. As described in Chapter 39, Sai Baba first appeared in the Nizam State and arrived in Shirdi with the wedding party of Chand Patil's nephew. However, the text emphasizes that Chand Patil was merely an instrument, and Sai came to Shirdi of his own accord out of great concern for the upliftment of his devotees.
