How did Apa Kote manage to join Madhavrao's pilgrimage to Kashi even though he had no money?

Apa Kote was able to join the pilgrimage to Kashi through the timely help and encouragement of Madhavrao. The narrative in Chapter 46 explains that upon hearing of the trip, Apa Kote was eager to go but was deeply worried because he had no money with him for the journey. He wished to 'wash his hands in the flowing Ganga' by taking the opportunity. Recognizing his friend's predicament and desire, Madhavrao gave him courage and took him along, thus enabling Apa Kote to fulfill his wish of visiting Kashi.
