Who was Pir Maulana of Bandra, and what was the author's interaction with him as described in Chapter 21?

Chapter 21 of the Sai Satcharitra mentions Pir Maulana as a famous Siddha, or perfected soul, who lived in the city of Bandra. He was highly revered, and people from various faiths, including Hindus and Parsis, would go for his "pure vision" or darshan. The author, who was the Magistrate of Bandra at the time, recounts his personal connection, or rather lack thereof, with this Saint. The Siddha's servant, named Inus, persistently urged the author to visit Pir Maulana. However, the author, due to what he calls pride and ill-luck, never went for the vision, thinking, "Why should I go? Should I be pressured by others and lose my own prestige?" This story serves as a personal confession to illustrate the chapter's main teaching that meeting a Saint requires good fortune.
