📖 Chapter 42

According to the account in Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's body passed away during the day in the Shaka year 1840. The text specifies that this event occurred on Vijayadashami, which is in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). It also coincided with the 9th date of the Muslim month, noted as the night of 'Kattal' or the eve of Moharram. The specific time of His departure was during the third watch of the day. The chapter further clarifies a nuance in the lunar day (tithi), explaining that the period of Dashami was completed at twelve-thirty, and Ekadashi had just dawned, making the time of departure technically on Ekadashi.
