What treasure was in the bundle that Kashiram was willing to kill two robbers to protect?

According to the narrative in Chapter 0, the small bundle that Kashiram protected so fiercely from the Bhil robbers did not contain any treasure. The thieves may have assumed it held valuables, but in reality, the bundle contained only powdered sugar. This sugar was very dear to Kashiram because he carried it to fulfill the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba, who had instructed him to feed ants. His decision to fight back, which resulted in the death of two thieves, stemmed from his deep attachment to this pious act, not from protecting material wealth.
