How was Sai Baba rediscovered after being 'hidden', and who was the person instrumental in this event?

Sai Baba, referred to as a hidden 'gem', was rediscovered through an encounter with a man named Chand Patil. According to Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Chand Patil was a fortunate Muslim man from the village of Dhup in the Aurangabad district. He had lost his mare and was searching for her for two months without success. While returning dejectedly, he met Baba, who was dressed as a Fakir under a mango tree. Baba miraculously told him where to find his lost mare. This encounter was the catalyst for Baba's return, as the text states he was later found in Shirdi within a Muslim wedding party, which was connected to Chand Patil.
