During Sai Baba's three-day trance in 1886, Mhalasapati played a pivotal and protective role. Chapter 44 recounts that Baba gave him firm instructions, saying, "Do not leave me or neglect me for three days." When Baba's body became motionless, Mhalasapati immediately gave his lap as a pillow and remained awake, guarding Baba day and night. While others lost hope and debated burying the body, Mhalasapati's steadfastness was crucial. The text credits his wisdom with averting this "ill-fate," ensuring Baba's safe return to consciousness.
