The saint who advised Kashiram to feed sugar to ants was named Janakidas Baba. This advice, mentioned in Chapter 0, played a pivotal role in the incident with the Bhil robbers. Kashiram carried a bundle of powdered sugar specifically to follow this saint's guidance. When the robbers attacked him, they mistakenly believed this small, fiercely protected bundle contained treasure. Chapter 0 explains that the bundle was so dear to Kashiram that he decided he would not let it go, whatever the cost. This determination directly led to the confrontation where he picked up a dropped sword to defend the bundle, resulting in him killing two of the thieves.
