What are the opening salutations in Chapter 42 and how is Sai Baba described at the beginning?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra begins with a series of traditional salutations to Shri Ganesha, Shri Saraswati, the Guru, the Family Deity, and Shri Sitaramachandra, before offering a specific bow to Shri Sadguru Sainath. In these opening verses, Sai Baba is beautifully described as the "Great Giver" who wanders the banks of the sacred Godavari river. He is depicted as the embodiment of Brahman, wearing only a loincloth. Furthermore, as noted in Chapter 42, he is venerated as the "best among saints" and a "Wish-fulfilling Tree (Kalpataru)" for his devotees, signifying his role as an incarnation who fulfills the desires and aids the causes of those who follow him.
