What were the financial arrangements and final compensation for Balabuva Satarkar's performance in Shirdi?

When Balabuva Satarkar first discussed performing in Shirdi with Bhausahab Dixit, he was told there was no certainty about a fee, as payment was entirely at Sai Baba's discretion. Despite this, Dixit assured him travel expenses would be covered. After Balabuva came and performed the entire Ram Navami festival with great love, he was given an honorarium of more than one hundred and fifty rupees. Chapter 6 emphasizes the generosity of this payment, noting that it was equivalent to five years' worth of the income he received from his usual festival at Kavthe. This unexpected windfall brought Balabuva immense joy and gratitude towards Baba.
