How does Chapter 42 reconcile the apparent contradiction of Baba's passing being on Vijayadashami (Dashami) but the time of departure being Ekadashi?

Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra addresses this complexity by providing a nuanced timeline. It records that the event happened on Vijayadashami, a day celebrated by many. However, it also specifies that the bell struck at twelve-thirty, at which point the Dashami tithi (lunar day) had completed. Therefore, the actual moment of Sainath's departure from his body fell within the Ekadashi tithi. The chapter resolves this by stating that the tithi considered for the day's observance (Dussehra) is the one present at sunrise, which was Dashami, even though the departure itself happened during Ekadashi.
