Could you tell me about the Agnihotri from Nashik who is introduced in Chapter 12?

Chapter 12 introduces the story of a ritualistic, orthodox Agnihotri (a keeper of the sacred fire) from the holy city of Nashik, whose surname was 'Mule'. His arrival in Shirdi is presented as a significant event, not a mere coincidence, but something that happened due to the 'strength of his past merits.' The text emphasizes this point by stating that without such merit, a person cannot stay in Shirdi for even a moment. As described in Chapter 12, his story is set up to be a delightful illustration of the Guru's greatness, where the devotee's original intention was different, but the fortunate outcome was gaining the benefit of Shirdi and a meeting with his Guru.
