The Shri Sai Satcharita introduces a story in Chapter 29 about a young girl named Amani to illustrate Baba's nature. Amani was a three-year-old child, described as the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji. She would come with her mother, Jamali, to see Baba after his morning meal as he sat near the dhuni. The text paints a vivid picture of the little girl, who would sit on her haunches, place her tin box in Baba's hands, and ask him for "rupees, rupees!" As detailed in verses 18 through 22 of Chapter 29, Baba had great affection for children and would respond by taking kisses, caressing her hair, and holding her to his chest, even as her mind was set on receiving money.
Who was the little girl Amani and what was her interaction with Sai Baba as described in the Satcharita?
