Chapter 12 begins to tell a story about someone coming to Shirdi. Who is this person and what was the reason given for his arrival?

Chapter 12 introduces a new narrative that it calls a "very delightful story" meant to illustrate the greatness of the Guru. The individual at the center of this story is an orthodox, ritualistic Agnihotri (a keeper of the sacred fire) from the holy city of Nashik, whose surname is Mule. The text explains that his arrival in Shirdi was not a simple coincidence but occurred due to the "strength of his past merits." Chapter 12 emphasizes this point by stating that without such accumulated merit, no one can manage to stay in Shirdi for even a single moment, setting the stage for his significant encounter.
