The Sanyasi's second visit to Mamlatdar Dev was markedly different from his first. As the narrative in Chapter 40 describes, he returned in less than a month, which made Dev suspicious. However, instead of asking for donations again, the Sanyasi's purpose was simply to have a meal, stating, "I haven't come for money; today we want a meal." He also mentioned he had two companions with him. Despite his initial doubt, Dev reacted with magnanimity, replying, "Come, it is a pleasure. Consider this your own home," and agreed to host all three of them for a meal at noon, demonstrating his hospitality.
