What was the deal with Balabuva Satarkar's annual grant for the Ram Navami festival, and how did his payment from Shirdi compare?

According to Chapter 6, Balabuva Satarkar had an annual grant for performing the Ram Navami Kirtan at Siddha-Kavthe. This was based on an imperial decree where 2,400 rupees were arranged for festival expenses, which included a 30 rupee fee for Balabuva. When the festival was cancelled due to a plague, he missed this income. After performing the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi with Sai Baba's permission, he received an honorarium of more than one hundred and fifty rupees. The text highlights that Baba gave him the equivalent of five years' worth of his Kavthe income in that single festival, which brought him immense joy.
