Can you describe the encounter between Sai Baba and the sick tiger, and explain why the darveshis were both sad and happy about its death?

In Chapter 31, a group of darveshis brought a fierce, diseased tiger before Sai Baba. Upon seeing Sai and approaching his feet, the tiger bowed its head, struck its tail on the ground three times, and immediately died. The darveshis had conflicting emotions about this outcome. On one hand, they were sad-faced because the tiger was their means of livelihood and its death represented the loss of their family's sustenance. On the other hand, they were also pleased because they understood the spiritual significance of the event. They recognized that the creature, which was already near death and suffering, had attained liberation by dying at the feet of a great saint, a fate considered to be of great merit.
