He expressed this devotion in tangible ways: he stitched a green kafni and cap for Baba, though Baba usually wore white. More significantly, Kashiram took a vow to provide Maharaj with chillum, tobacco, and firewood for his Dhuni.

The text also notes that Kashiram was fortunate to pass away on an Ekadashi day, which is considered auspicious.
