What was in the small bundle that Kashiram risked his life to protect from robbers, and what was its significance?

The small bundle that Kashiram fought to protect from Bhil robbers, as mentioned in Chapter 0, did not contain treasure as the thieves suspected, but simply powdered sugar. This bundle was profoundly significant to Kashiram because he was following the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba to feed sugar to ants. His refusal to let go of the bundle, even when faced with death, demonstrates his unwavering commitment to his spiritual vows and the teachings he received. This act of protecting a simple item for a sacred purpose highlights his deep piety and the values he held dear.
