What was the role of Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre in the story of Dixit's journey?

Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre acted as crucial intermediaries in connecting Dixit with Madhavrao. According to Chapter 51, they were in Nagar for an exhibition when they happened to see Madhavrao arriving. Recognizing him as the priest of Shirdi, they saw this as a fortunate solution to Dixit's predicament. They immediately approached Madhavrao, telling him about Dixit's eagerness to visit Shirdi and directing him to Mirikar's house. By acting as messengers, they facilitated the meeting that would set the travel plans in motion, effectively serving as instruments in the unfolding divine plan.
