What happened when the sannyasi Vijayananda met Swami Somdevji in Shirdi, and how did this interaction affect him?

When the sannyasi Vijayananda arrived in Shirdi, Chapter 31 recounts that he naturally met Swami Somdevji of Haridwar in the assembly of devotees. Vijayananda inquired about the distance to Mansarovar. Swami Somdevji informed him that it was about five hundred miles away and described the significant hardships of the journey, including heavy snow and language barriers. As Chapter 31 states, hearing this news from the Swami's mouth caused Vijayananda to become dejected and distressed, filling his mind with worry about being able to complete his pilgrimage successfully.
