What role did the Dhangar woman play in the story of Sapatnekar's consolation by Sai Baba?

The Dhangar (shepherd) woman played a unique and pivotal role as an unwitting instrument in one of Sai Baba's leelas. According to Chapter 48, after Sapatnekar desperately held Baba's feet, the woman arrived and sat down to massage Baba's waist. Baba then began a conversation with her, but the content of the conversation was a detailed narration of Sapatnekar's entire life, including the tragic death of his son. The text notes that the woman had no actual connection to the story and was just saying "Yes," but for Sapatnekar, who was listening intently, it was a shocking and wondrous miracle. Her presence created the scenario for Baba to demonstrate his omniscience in an indirect manner, paving the way for him to then console Sapatnekar directly. She was the medium for a divine revelation.
