While returning from a market, Kashiram, a cloth seller, was attacked by Bhil robbers. As detailed in Chapter 0, the robbers tried to steal a small bundle from him, believing it contained treasure. In reality, the bundle held only powdered sugar. This sugar was very dear to Kashiram because he carried it to fulfill the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba, who told him to feed ants. Because of the bundle's significance to his spiritual practice, Kashiram was determined not to let it go. He fought back, picking up a dropped sword and killing two thieves before being struck down with an axe and left for dead.
Can you recount Kashiram's encounter with the Bhil robbers and explain why he fought so fiercely over a small bundle?
