How did the traveler react to Baba's intervention with the snake, and what did Baba do to satisfy his curiosity?

The traveler was initially frightened by the large snake and tried to stop Baba from approaching it, fearing for their safety in the narrow space. As Chapter 47 recounts, after Baba spoke and both the snake and frog disappeared, the traveler was completely 'astonished.' He confessed, 'I do not understand what this is,' and asked who Veerabhadrappa and Basappa were and the reason for their enmity. To satisfy the traveler's curiosity, Baba invited him to sit under a tree, share a pipe, and promised to narrate the full story behind the incident before returning to his own place.
