What was Mirikar's reaction immediately after the snake was killed and the danger had passed?

After the immediate danger was averted by killing the snake, Mirikar experienced a profound emotional and spiritual shift. Chapter 22 explains that he was 'deeply moved' and his 'love for Sai Samarth surged intensely.' The 'shivers of sorrow vanished,' replaced by tears of love and gratitude. He began to question how Baba could have possibly known about this great misfortune and arranged for his protection by sending Shama. This event solidified his faith, as he marveled at Baba's immense compassion and inner vision, which had playfully brought His love to light.
