At one point in November 1951, Baba dictated a "Prayer for the Road during the Manonash Wandering." The prayer, in Gujarati, is translated as follows:
O Parvardigar! O Ocean of infinite mercy! Baba, with great humility, implores You to bestow upon him courage and help him so that he will not retrace his steps during the Manonash phase. Forgive him for his trespasses due to weakness of his mind and give him such courage that he will never tell a lie, never hurt the feelings of anyone, will not do any injustice to anybody, and that he will not harass his companions who are serving him faithfully and wholeheartedly. And, bestow upon him such grace that, while abiding by all the conditions and fulfilling them, he brings about the end of the endless New Life in four months through the Manonash phase.
In Aurangabad, on 9 November, Baba and the four companions took baths and decided to stay at the guest house for nine days. Baba spent the next day sitting in seclusion in various Muslim shrines in Khuldabad, and also contacted two masts.
On Sunday, 11 November 1951, Baba sat in seclusion in the cave of the Sufi Qutub Zarzari Zar Baksh (Sai Baba's Master in one of Sai's previous incarnations), and also contacted a mast near the shrine. Baba then proceeded to Daulatabad, and there too sat in several shrines for a fixed time before returning to Khuldabad in the evening.
Baba visited the Ellora Caves on the 12th, and sat in seclusion in Cave 32, called Indra Sabha near a statue of Mahavir — the 6th-century BC Perfect Master, a contemporary of Buddha, and the founder of Jainism.
From Ellora, Baba proceeded to Virod Village, where Prahlad and Keshav Maharaj masts were contacted at the bus stand. Keshav Maharaj was residing in the village of Kashyap and had "coincidentally" come to Virod that day. Baba returned to Khuldabad with the men at eleven o'clock that night.
In Khuldabad on 14 November, at the guest house, Baba washed the feet of the Muslim caretaker of Zarzari Zar Baksh's tomb, bowed down to him and gave him Rs.21 as a love-gift. Accompanied by the caretaker, Baba again went to Zarzari Zar Baksh's tomb, where he contacted 74 poor people, washed their feet, placed his head on their feet and gave each person ten rupees. The caretaker then offered the Fatiha worship and Eruch, Pendu, Baidul and Gustadji prayed for Baba's success in his work.
