The Satcharita compares Sai Baba to other famous saints. Who are they, and what is the purpose of this comparison?

Chapter 43 draws parallels between Sai Baba and other revered saints to emphasize his eternal nature and unbroken spiritual lineage. The text asks if Gyaneshwar (Gyanoba) truly left, noting he gave darshan centuries later. It then lists other great saints and their associated holy places: Nath Maharaj of Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj of Dehu, Narasimha Saraswati of Alandi, Samarth Ramdas of Parli, and the Swami of Akkalkot. The purpose of this comparison is to assert that just as these saints remain powerful spiritual forces in their respective domains, 'Sai is the same in Shirdi,' and his influence continues unabated despite his physical departure.
