How much was Balabuva Satarkar paid for his performance in Shirdi, and how did it compare to his usual income?

For performing the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi, Balabuva Satarkar received a generous honorarium that brought him immense joy. Chapter 6 specifies that the payment was more than one hundred and fifty rupees. The text highlights the significance of this amount by stating that Baba gave him five years' worth of his income from the Kavthe festival in this single event. This comparison underscores that the reward from Sai Baba was not only appropriate but far exceeded his regular earnings, making him feel incredibly grateful and satisfied.
