How much was Balabuva Satarkar paid for his kirtan in Shirdi, and how did that compare to his usual fee?

Balabuva Satarkar was compensated far beyond his expectations for his performance in Shirdi. When the Ram Navami festival at Kavthe was canceled, he missed out on his usual fee of 30 rupees. However, after he performed the Kirtan in Sai Baba's presence, Baba ordered that he be given an honorarium of 'more than a hundred and fifty' rupees. As Chapter 6 highlights, this was a significant sum, amounting to five years' worth of his income from the Kavthe festival. This unexpected and generous payment filled Balabuva with immense joy and gratitude towards Baba.
