How did the people around Radhabai, like Shama, react to her fasting protest?

The narrative in Chapter 18 reveals that Radhabai's extreme penance caused significant distress, particularly for Madhavrao, also known as Shama. After she had fasted without food or water for three days and become exhausted, Shama grew very worried about the situation. He went to Baba in the Masjid, referring to the events as a "Gaud-bangal" or mysterious play, and lamented to Baba that such incidents brought worry upon them. Shama asked Baba for a decision, highlighting the gravity of the old woman's resolve not to fear death.
