After being attacked by robbers and left for dead, how did Kashiram recover and was his bravery ever recognized?

Following the brutal attack by thieves, where he was struck by an axe and left unconscious, Kashiram eventually regained consciousness. As Chapter 0 recounts, his faith in Sai Baba was so profound that he refused to go to a hospital, insisting, "Take me to Shirdi." He was brought there, and on Maharaj's instructions, Madhavrao Deshpande treated him. By Baba's grace, Kashiram's health improved, and he made a full recovery. His courageous actions were indeed acknowledged; for his brave act of fighting off the robbers, Kashiram received a sword as a gift from the Bombay government, a significant public honor.
