Who were Damu Anna and Mavshibai, and what were the circumstances that led to their humorous confrontation in front of Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 24

Damu Anna and Mavshibai were two of Sai Baba's devoted followers. Chapter 24 states that Anna was over fifty years old, and Mavshibai, a widow whose original name was Venubai Kaujalgi, was also of a mature age. Their humorous confrontation occurred while they were both simultaneously performing service for Baba. Anna was pressing Baba's left hand while Mavshibai was vigorously massaging Baba's stomach. In the midst of her service, Mavshibai was swaying and her face came close to Anna's. Seizing the opportunity for a joke, she accused him of trying to kiss her, which he angrily denied, thus starting the quarrel that Baba had to mediate.
