What's the story behind the tiger that died in front of Sai Baba, and what was so special about its death?

According to the account in Chapter 31, a group of darveshis brought a fierce and diseased tiger before Sai Baba. Upon seeing Sai, the tiger, which had been restless, was startled and bowed its head with reverence. As Baba gazed at it with a loving heart, the tiger struck its tail on the ground three times and died at His feet. This event was considered incredibly significant because dying in the presence of a great saint is viewed as a profound blessing. Chapter 31 explains that for any creature, be it a worm, insect, or tiger, to leave its body before a saint's eyes is a sign of great merit, freeing it from all its sins and granting liberation.
