How does Chapter 42 begin, and what does it promise to narrate to the reader?

Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra begins with traditional salutations to various deities and to Sadguru Sainath. It then briefly recaps the previous chapter's stories about Sai's portrait being protected from water and a devotee receiving guidance in a dream. Following this, the chapter states its purpose, promising to describe Sai's nature—whether his mind was "intense or soft"—and, most significantly, to provide a detailed account of Baba leaving his body. As mentioned in the text, listening to these stories is for the reader's own benefit and leads to great holiness.
