What are the main narratives and stories mentioned in Chapter 31 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 31 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides a summary of past stories and introduces a new, detailed narrative. It begins by referencing earlier accounts, such as the story of the Saptashringi devotee, Madhavrao's fulfilled vow, and how a tiger was granted liberation at Sai's feet. The primary story detailed in this chapter, however, is that of a sannyasi from Madras named Vijayananda. He was on a pilgrimage to Mansarovar but stopped in Shirdi after hearing of Sai Baba's fame. The chapter describes his journey, his initial discouraging encounter with Baba, and how he was ultimately captivated by the devotion he witnessed in the Shirdi masjid, which is the main focus of this section.
