The Satcharita mentions a woman who served Baba in a very strange way. How did Mavshibai press Baba's stomach, and what was the reaction of others?

📖 Chapter 24

Chapter 24 describes the unique service of Mavshibai, a widow whom Baba called "Mother." While serving Baba, she would press his stomach with great force, twisting with both hands and churning his midsection as if it were a pot of buttermilk. The text notes that her extraordinary method made Baba's stomach and back appear flat. Despite the vigorousness, Baba himself seemed completely at ease and did not protest. However, this intense service evoked different reactions in others. As Chapter 24 explains, Anna felt pity watching her. On another occasion, a different devotee became worried and told the lady to be gentler, which resulted in Baba becoming extremely angry.
