During the Nevasakar family's food crisis, what specific role did the mother-in-law's faith and instructions play in resolving the situation?

The mother-in-law's faith was the pivotal element that resolved the food crisis during the Shraddha ceremony. When her daughter-in-law became anxious, the mother-in-law provided firm reassurance, stating, "Our Sai is powerful and firm; While he is there, why worry?" As described in Chapter 35, she translated this faith into action by adding Udi to each food pot. Her specific instructions were to cover the pots, serve happily, and only lift the cloth enough to serve. She declared the food was from Sai's house and he would protect their honor. Her unwavering resolve and belief directly manifested the miracle, ensuring the food never depleted.
