Can you explain what happened to the tiger that was brought before Sai Baba and why its death was considered a form of salvation?

Chapter 31 recounts the story of a fierce and diseased tiger brought by darveshis to Sai Baba. Upon seeing Sai's radiant form and meeting His gaze, the tiger was startled, bowed its head, struck its tail on the ground three times, and fell lifeless at Baba's feet. This was seen as a miraculous event. The text explains that this was not a mere death but a profound liberation. By leaving its body in the presence of a great saint, the tiger was redeemed from its sins and freed from the cycle of rebirth. It is suggested this was the result of great fortune or the resolution of a past-life karmic debt. Sai Himself confirmed the tiger attained "supreme bliss" and instructed that it be buried near a Shiva temple.
