(2) Then after some years another Wada, Dixit's Wada was constructed.  Kakasaheb Dixit, Solicitor of Bombay had gone to England.  He had injured his leg by an accident there.  The injury could not be got rid of by any means.  Nanasaheb Chandorkar advised him to try Sai Baba.  So he saw Sai Baba in 1909 A.D., and requested Him to cure rather the lameness of his mind than that of his leg.

He was so much pleased with the darshana of Sai Baba, that he decided to reside in Shirdi.  So he built a Wada for himself and other devotees.  The foundation of this building was laid on 10-12-1910.

On this day, two other important events took place.  (1) Mr. Dadasaheb Khaparde was given permission to return home, and (2) the night Arti in Chavadi was commenced.  The Wada was complete and was inhabited on the Rama-Navami day in 1911 A.D., with due rites and formalities, (3) Then another Wada or palatial mansion was put up by the famous building, but all the amount was well utilized, as Sai Baba's body is resting in this Wada, which is now called the Samadhi Mandir.

The site of this Mandir had formerly a garden, which was watered and looked after by Baba.  Three Wadas thus sprang up, where there was none formerly.  Of these, Sathe's Wada was most useful to all, in the early days.

The story of the garden, attended to by Sai Baba with the help of Vaman Tatya, the temporary absence of Sai Baba from Shirdi, and His coming again to Shirdi with the marriage-party of Chand Patil, the company of Devidas, Jankidas and Gangagir, Baba's wrestling match with Mohdin Tamboli, residence in Masjid, love of Mr. Dengale and other devotees; and other incidents will be described in the next chapter.

Hearing these words, I was much surprised.  The Masjid was at a considerable distance from Sathe's Wada where I was staying and where the discussion was going on.  How could Baba know our discussion unless He be omniscient and Inner Ruler of us all?

I began to think why Sai Baba should call me by the name Hemadpant.  This word is a distorted form of Hemadripant.  This Hemadripant was a wellknown Minister of the kings Mahadev and Ramdev of Devgiri of the Yadav dynasty.  He was very learned, good-natured and the author of good works, such as Chaturvarga Chintamani (dealing with spiritual subjects) and Rajprashasti.  He invented and started new methods of accounts and was the originator of the Modi (Marathi Shorthand) script.  But I was quite the opposite, ignoramus, and of dull, mediocre intellect.
