How does Chapter 46 set up the stories it's about to tell? It seems to recap the last chapter first.

Chapter 46 of the Sai Satcharitra serves as a bridge between past and future narratives. After extensive praise of Sai Baba and the power of devotion, the author transitions by briefly recapping the events of the previous chapter. This includes mentioning the reading of the Bhagavat by Dixit, the devotion of the Nine Yogis, and the miracle shown to Anandrao Pakhade in a dream. Following this recap, the chapter sets the stage for a new story, promising a 'novel story' that will demonstrate how Sai is always near his devotees, no matter how far away they are, and gives them unexpected visions. This narrative technique builds anticipation and reinforces the chapter's central theme.
