The source mentions 'Maharaj' in verse 8. Is this a reference to Gajanan Maharaj?

The term "Maharaj" in verse 8 is used as a title of respect for Sai Baba, not as a reference to Gajanan Maharaj. The preceding verses in Chapter 29 detail Sai Baba's immense generosity, describing how he would distribute money abundantly to pilgrims, the poor, and the needy. Verse 8 summarizes this quality by stating, "Thus the Maharaj was of generous disposition, steadfast in charity and righteousness." The context clearly indicates that "Maharaj" is an honorific for Sai Baba, highlighting his kingly charity, and not the proper name of another saint mentioned within this portion of the text.
