In the narrative of Dharamsee's visit, the Udi Prasad he received served as the concluding blessing and formal permission to depart. After undergoing a significant change of heart, where his initial resolve not to give Dakshina was replaced by spontaneous reverence, he was fully immersed in the saintly experience. As described in Chapter 35, 'after receiving the Udi Prasad and taking his blessing, They returned without doubt.' This aligns with the principle mentioned later in the same chapter that Udi, given after one asks to leave, is the very signal of permission. For Dharamsee, the Udi marked the successful and blessed completion of his transformative encounter with Sai Baba, allowing him to leave with a clear heart and Baba's grace.
