What exactly happened in the moments leading up to the tiger's death at Sai's feet?

As detailed in Chapter 31, the moments before the tiger's death were miraculous. The fierce, diseased, and restless tiger was brought before Sai Baba on a tightly held chain. As soon as the tiger came near Sai's feet and saw his radiant form, its demeanor changed. The text describes that as their eyes met, the tiger was startled in its mind and bowed its head with great reverence. With a loving gaze from Sai, the tiger immediately raised its tail, struck the ground three times, placed its body at Sai's feet, and fell motionless. It let out one final, terrifying roar and died right there, leaving all the onlookers struck with wonder at the sight.
