The source text from Chapter 18 makes a brief, poetic reference to the 'God-devoted Tukaram' performing 'a thousand readings in solitude on Bhamchandra hill,' noting the indescribable sweetness of the experience. However, it does not provide any further details about this event, its specific significance, or how Sai Baba might have explicitly related this story to his devotees. The passage uses this reference to illustrate the divine quality of the books being read in Shirdi, but the historical context of Tukaram's act is not elaborated upon in this chapter.
