How did the darveshis who brought the tiger react when it died? Weren't they upset that their source of income was gone?

The darveshis had a complex and mixed reaction to the tiger's death, as described in Chapter 31. On one hand, they were sad-faced because the tiger was their primary means of livelihood and supported their family. Its death represented a significant material loss. However, Chapter 31 also notes that they 'also looked pleased.' This was because they understood the profound spiritual event they had just witnessed. They recognized that the diseased creature had attained liberation by dying at the feet of a saint, which they considered a great fortune and a path to salvation. Their pleasure stemmed from witnessing this divine arrangement, even though it came at a personal cost.
