Who was Devidas, and what was his interaction with the Fakir as mentioned in Chapter 5?

According to Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra, Devidas was a wise individual who had arrived and settled in Shirdi twelve years before Sai Baba's return with the wedding party. He taught scriptures like the Venkatesh Stotra and was regarded as a Guru by villagers. The chapter recounts a significant event where a Fakir challenged Devidas to a scriptural debate. As the text details, Devidas, with his profound detachment, defeated the Fakir, who then fled to Vaijapur. This incident is noteworthy because many years later, the same Fakir returned to Shirdi, his delusion of being a Guru dispelled, and he bowed before Sainath.
