The text mentions multiple timings like Vijayadashami and Ekadashi for Baba's passing. How does Chapter 42 reconcile these different temporal references?

Chapter 42 meticulously reconciles the various temporal references surrounding Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. It establishes the main day as Vijayadashami (Dussehra), which is determined by the tithi, or lunar day, at sunrise. However, it provides a more granular account of the actual moment of departure. As detailed in Chapter 42, Sainath left his body during the third watch of the day, after the clock struck twelve-thirty. At this specific time, the Dashami tithi had just completed, and the Ekadashi tithi had dawned. Therefore, the chapter clarifies that while the day was celebrated as Vijayadashami, the precise time of departure fell within the Ekadashi period.
