Chapter 29 of the Sai Satcharita illustrates why Sai Baba was regarded as 'the Maharaj.' The text highlights his immense generosity and kingly disposition. Verse 8 explicitly states, 'Thus the Maharaj was of generous disposition, steadfast in charity and righteousness.' This title reflects his practice of distributing money daily to the poor, needy, and even wayfarers. The chapter describes how crowds of singers and performers were drawn to him, and he would give generously, sometimes ten rupees and other times fifty, showcasing a compassion that was a core reason for his revered status.
