What is the narrative setup at the beginning of Chapter 36, and what new story is introduced?

The start of Chapter 36 serves as a bridge from the previous chapter, reminding the listener of a promise to tell another story. The text describes the forthcoming tale as a "succulent story" that will quench the thirst for devotion and remove worldly misery. After a detailed invocation and a description of Sai Baba's divine qualities, the chapter concludes its introduction by setting the stage for the next event. As mentioned in Chapter 36, the new narrative begins with the simple line: "Two gentlemen from Goa came for Sai’s darshan." This acts as the hook for the story that is about to unfold.
