At the start of Chapter 42, Sai Baba is venerated with several descriptions. He is called the 'Great Giver,' the one who 'wanders on the banks of the sacred Godavari,' and 'the embodiment of Brahman, wearing only a loincloth.' He is also described as the 'Wish-fulfilling Tree (Kalpataru)' for his devotees. Before delving into the new topic, the chapter briefly recaps events from the previous one, mentioning the wondrous divine play of how Sai's portrait was miraculously protected after being immersed in water and how another devotee's desire was fulfilled when Sai appeared in a dream to direct him to read the Dnyaneshwari.
