The chapter extols the Dwarkamai, where Sai lived, and blesses the people of Shirdi, whom Sai placed under his debt of grace. It particularly praises the deep and simple faith of the women, who constantly sang of Sai's glory during their daily work, showing how devotion permeated the entire atmosphere of the village.
