The first meeting occurred about a month prior to the main events of the story. A Sanyasi, who was a volunteer for a cow institution, came to Dahanu Station seeking help to raise funds. The Station Master suggested he approach the Mamlatdar, Dev. As chapter 40 recounts, in a fortunate turn of events, the Mamlatdar himself arrived at the station at that very moment. The Sanyasi seized the opportunity and expressed his heart's desire to Dev, pleading for his help with the religious work of cow protection and arguing that the task would be accomplished quickly with the officer's support.
Can you describe the initial encounter between the Mamlatdar Dev and the Sanyasi who was seeking donations?
