What is the prelude or introduction to the main story in Chapter 47 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 47 begins not with a story, but with a profound prelude praising Shri Sai. His face is described as the "abode of supreme bliss," and his merciful glance is said to destroy the sorrows of infinite births and liberate devotees from Karma's bonds. The chapter then presents a beautiful analogy, detailed in Chapter 47, where the holy River Ganges (Bhagirathi) becomes soiled by washing the world's sins and desires the dust from saints' feet for her own purification. The text then announces the greatness of the upcoming story, promising it will sever the bonds of Karma for listeners before revealing its central theme: how greed for wealth leads to a downfall.
