What happened when Kashiram was attacked by robbers, and why was the small bundle he carried so important to him?

Chapter 0 recounts a perilous incident where Kashiram, a cloth merchant, was attacked by Bhil robbers. The thieves tried to snatch a small bundle he was carrying, assuming it contained treasure. In reality, the bundle held only powdered sugar, which was precious to Kashiram for a unique reason: he carried it to fulfill a practice of feeding ants, as advised by a saint named Janakidas Baba. Because this bundle was connected to his spiritual practice, he refused to let it go. This led to a violent confrontation where Kashiram fought back, killing two robbers before being struck down himself with an axe, as narrated in the provided text from Chapter 0.
