Can you tell me about the devotee Kashiram and the incident with the thieves?

Kashiram was a devotee of Maharaj who experienced a miraculous event. According to Chapter 0, he was attacked by thieves who wanted a bundle he was carrying. Believing it was treasure, they were unaware it was just powdered sugar that Kashiram carried to feed ants, on the advice of a saint. He fought back fiercely, killing two thieves before being struck unconscious. At this exact moment in Shirdi, Maharaj became very agitated, which devotees recognized as him spiritually protecting someone in danger. Kashiram survived, and his faith was so strong that he refused a hospital, insisting on being taken to Shirdi where he was healed by Maharaj's grace. For his bravery, the Bombay government gifted him a sword.
