What is the spiritual significance of dying in the presence of a saint, as illustrated by the tiger's death?

Chapter 31 explains that dying before a saint's eyes is an act of great merit and fortune, leading to complete redemption. This event is described not as death, but as attaining the bliss of Vaikuntha (heaven) and conquering the mortal world. For any creature, be it a worm, insect, or tiger, leaving the body in a saint's presence is considered the 'earning of life' and a path to salvation, ensuring there is no sorrow of rebirth. It is an atonement for all sins, transforming the moment of death into true self-salvation.
