Was Sai Baba the only saint in Shirdi, or were there others there around the same time?

📖 Chapter 5

The Shri Sai Satcharitra clarifies that Shirdi was already a spiritually significant place when Baba made it his home. Chapter 5 mentions that before Baba was 'found' in Shirdi with the wedding party, another saint named Devidas had already made Shirdi his home. Furthermore, the text notes that sometime later, another holy person, Janakidas Gosavi, also came to live in Shirdi. This indicates that Sai Baba joined a community that already had a presence of revered saints, which contributed to the village's sanctity and spiritual atmosphere.
