Can you describe the first encounter between Chandbhai and the figure he called Maharaj?

The initial meeting between Chandbhai and Maharaj is detailed in Chapter 0. Chandbhai, the Patil of a village called Dhupkhede, was searching for his lost horse in a forest when he saw Maharaj sitting under a tree. Maharaj, who had never met Chandbhai before, called out to him and offered him a smoke from a chillum. When Chandbhai explained his predicament, Maharaj told him his horse was just behind a nearby hedge. Chandbhai found the horse exactly where Maharaj indicated. This chapter also recounts a miracle where Maharaj, needing a fire for the chillum, simply struck his tongs on the ground to produce flames.
