What are the main stories and themes introduced at the beginning of Chapter 31?

The beginning of Chapter 31 serves as a summary of past events and an introduction to a new story. It briefly recaps several past narratives, including those of the Saptashringi devotee, Madhavrao's fulfilled vow, how Sai Baba placed the Ramlala idol for Khushalchet, and how Mankar, Noolkar Megha, and even a cruel tiger were given a place at Baba's feet. As stated in the chapter, the author then introduces what is called a "more wonderful" story about a sannyasi traveling to Mansarovar who attained liberation, promising to narrate it with its essential meaning for the reader's welfare.
