How does the narrative compare and contrast the Patil's 'Satya-Sai vow' with the traditional Satyanarayan ritual?

The text in Chapter 13 draws a direct parallel between the traditional Satyanarayan ritual and the 'Satya-Sai vow' initiated by the Patil. It notes that just as people performed the Satyanarayan puja to overcome crises, the Patil began his vow out of gratitude for Sai's grace. The passage highlights the similarities in practice, such as performing the vow on Thursdays with the 'same abundance of offering' and 'auspicious celebration.' The key distinction was the sacred text; instead of the Satyanarayan story, the Patil read the three chapters on Sainath by Das Ganu. Ultimately, the narrative dissolves the distinction, stating, 'there is no difference in either,' equating Sai with Narayan.
