From Chand Patil's perspective, what convinced him that the Fakir he met under the mango tree was a great saint or 'Avaliya'?

From Chand Patil's viewpoint, a series of astonishing events confirmed the Fakir's sainthood. As Chapter 5 explains, Patil had been grieving his lost mare for two full months and had given up hope. When the Fakir, a complete stranger, not only called him over but also asked about the saddle on his back and then told him the exact location of the lost animal near some streams, it was the first sign of omniscience. When Patil actually went and found the mare as directed, his amazement grew. The text in Chapter 5 states that he thought to himself, 'I have met an Avaliya (saint).' This conviction was solidified when he witnessed Baba miraculously pull a glowing ember from the earth with tongs for the chillum, a deed that proved the Fakir was no 'mere human.'
