What was the initial interaction between Dev (the Mamlatdar) and the Sanyasi at the Dahanu station?

The initial encounter between Dev and the Sanyasi was a matter of fortunate timing. As related in Chapter 40, a Sanyasi promoting cow shelters was at the Dahanu Station, speaking with the Station Master about raising funds. The Station Master advised him to seek help from the Mamlatdar. Just as he was saying this, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the Mamlatdar, Dev himself, arrived unexpectedly at the station. The Station Master urged the Sanyasi to seize the opportunity. The Sanyasi then approached Dev, explained his mission for cow protection, and requested Dev's influential support, stating that with a word from the Taluka's officer, the collection would happen quickly.
