The story of the tiger's death seems to suggest it's a blessing. How does the text explain the spiritual significance of dying before a saint?

Chapter 31 extensively details the spiritual significance of dying in a saint's presence. It is considered an act of great merit and supreme fortune, a direct path to salvation that frees the soul from the cycle of rebirth. The text states that for any creature, be it a worm, insect, or tiger, to leave its body before a saint's eyes is to be wholly redeemed and have all sins absolved. This kind of death is described not as a sorrowful event, but as attaining 'Vaikuntha's (heaven's) bliss' and conquering the mortal world. It is presented as the ultimate earning of a lifetime.
