What was the Sanyasi's initial request to the Mamlatdar, and how did the Mamlatdar respond?

The Sanyasi's initial request to Mamlatdar Dev was for assistance with a fundraising effort for cow protection. According to Chapter 40, the Sanyasi pleaded with Dev, stating that as the officer of the Taluka, a single word from him would ensure the success of the religious work. However, Dev deferred the request. He explained that another collection was already in progress in the town, led by prominent citizens. He told the Sanyasi that the timing was not good and advised him to return in two to four months, promising they would revisit the matter then.
