What was the specific plea made by the parents of the sick child when they met Sai Baba in Shirdi?

When the desperate parents from Malegaon finally had the darshan of Sai Baba, they made an emotional and humble plea for their son's life. As detailed in Chapter 34, they bowed at his feet, and with choked voices and folded hands, they described their son's unbearable pain. They confessed their own exhaustion and helplessness, stating, "Seeing the wretched state of our son’s suffering, we are greatly exhausted, O Sai Samarth." Their specific request was for Sai to "place your hand of protection on his head and remove this ailment." They affirmed that they had come seeking refuge with total devotion after hearing of his greatness, effectively surrendering their son's fate into his hands.
