According to Chapter 29, the reactions of others were a mixture of astonishment, curiosity, and ridicule. Initially, when the woman was overcome with emotion, playing cymbals with tears of joy flowing, the crowd became "amazed" and "astonished." They wondered why such a "flood of love" was overflowing for her alone. However, this amazement later turned to skepticism and criticism, particularly from her selfish husband. People questioned how Sai, who appeared to them as a fakir begging for alms, could manifest as Raghupati (Rama) just for her. The text notes that they made her an "object of ridicule," but she, firm in her experience, was untroubled by their disbelief.
