I'm confused about the timing of Baba's Mahasamadhi mentioned in Chapter 42. It says Vijayadashami but also Ekadashi. Can you clarify what the text says?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra addresses this specific point about the timing of Sai Baba's departure. It states that his body passed away on the day of Vijayadashami, with the bell striking twelve-thirty. However, the text also makes a distinction regarding the lunar day, or tithi. It clarifies that at that specific time, the period of Dashami (the tenth lunar day) was completed, and Ekadashi (the eleventh lunar day) had just dawned. Therefore, while the calendar day was widely recognized as Dussehra (Vijayadashami), the precise moment of his departure occurred during the Ekadashi tithi.
