In what form did Sai Baba attend Dev's Udyapan, and how did he explain this later?

Sai Baba attended Dev's Udyapan ceremony in the guise of a Sanyasi. According to Chapter 40, Baba explained the events to Jog after receiving Dev's complaint. He clarified that he had visited twice: first, he came alone as a Sanyasi before the meal, and then, as promised, he returned exactly at twelve o'clock with two other people to have the meal. Baba told Jog, "I said I would come with two others, and I went with two others... do you not remember the Sanyasi's guise?" This confirmed that he had fulfilled his word to Dev, who had simply failed to recognize him.
