What happened with the tiger that was brought to see Sai Baba, and what was the significance of its death?

According to Chapter 31, a group of darveshis brought a fierce and diseased tiger before Sai Baba. Upon seeing Sai's radiant form and meeting his gaze, the tiger was startled, bowed its head with reverence, and came near His feet. It then struck its tail on the ground three times and died instantly. The significance of this event, as explained in the text, is that dying in the presence of a great saint is a form of liberation. The creature was saved from its sins and attained salvation, which is considered an extraordinary deed of destiny and the result of great merit.
