How much was Balabuva Satarkar paid for performing at Shirdi's Ram Navami festival, and how did this compare to his usual fee?

For his performance of the Ram Navami Kirtan in Shirdi, Balabuva Satarkar received a very appropriate honorarium of 'more than a hundred and fifty' rupees. The significance of this payment is highlighted in Chapter 6, which states that this single fee was equivalent to five years' worth of the income he would have received from his annual engagement at Kavthe. The text notes that his fee for the Kavthe festival was 30 rupees. Receiving such a large sum, which far exceeded his usual earnings, brought Balabuva immense joy and gratitude towards Sai Baba.
