A traveler was present during the snake and frog incident. How did he react, and how did Baba use the event as a teaching moment for him?

The traveler was initially terrified by the large snake. As Chapter 47 describes, he tried to stop Baba from approaching, saying, 'Don't go forward; the snake will come towards us.' After Baba spoke and the creatures fled, the traveler was left utterly astonished and confused. He asked, 'I do not understand what this is; what were those words spoken?' Baba didn't immediately explain. Instead, he calmly invited the traveler to sit under a tree and smoke a pipe, creating a peaceful setting. Only then, while sharing the pipe, did Baba narrate the backstory of Veerabhadrappa and Basappa to satisfy the traveler's curiosity, turning a frightening encounter into a profound lesson on karma and unresolved enmity.
