How does Chapter 42 explain the timing of Baba's Mahasamadhi in relation to the tithis of Dashami and Ekadashi?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 provides a specific account of the lunar day (tithi) during Sai Baba's departure. It clarifies that the event happened on the day celebrated as Vijayadashami. The text explains that the bell struck at twelve-thirty, at which point "the period of Dashami was completed. Ekadashi dawned." Therefore, the actual moment of departure occurred during the Ekadashi tithi. However, the chapter also notes that the tithi which is active at sunrise is considered the tithi for the day, which in this case was Dashami, aligning the day with the Dussehra festival.
