The introduction to Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra paints a vivid picture of Sai Baba. He is hailed with salutations, described as the "Great Giver" who wanders the banks of the sacred Godavari river. The text also refers to his simple attire, mentioning he is the "embodiment of Brahman, wearing only a loincloth (Koupina)." He is called the best among saints and a "Wish-fulfilling Tree (Kalpataru)" for his devotees. After this description, the author explicitly states that Chapter 42 will delve into two main accounts: first, a description of Sai's nature, to determine "whether his mind was intense or soft," and second, a detailed account of Baba's leaving his body.
