Chapter 12 introduces a new story. Who is the person being introduced, and what brought him to Shirdi?

Chapter 12 begins to narrate a story that it calls "very delightful" and illustrative of the Guru's greatness. It introduces a man from the holy city of Nashik with the surname 'Mule'. He is described as a "ritualistic, orthodox Agnihotri," which means he was a keeper of the sacred fire. According to the text, his arrival in Shirdi was not a simple choice but was due to the "strength of his past merits." Chapter 12 emphasizes that his original intention was different from what transpired, but this fortunate coincidence led him to Shirdi, noting that one cannot stay there even for a moment without such merit.
