She did return with bread and vegetables and placed the same before Baba.

The latter said to her, “Oh Lakshmibai, I am very hungry.” Off she went saying, “Baba, wait a bit, I will return immediately with bread.” Once while Baba was sitting in the Masjid with Tatya in the evening, Lakshmibai came and saluted Baba.

Except Bhagat Mahalsapathy, Tatya and Lakshmibai, no one was allowed to step in the Masjid at night. Lakshmibai used to work in the Masjid day and night. Lakshmibai was a well-to-do woman and she owned her own home. The British were very pleased with her dedication and gave her a stipend. Meticulously, age collected taxes and deposited them at the office at the Ragoba Dada Wada (name of a building). Lakshmibai looked after her children, her farmland and undertook the job of the Mulki Patil as well.

She was widowed at a very young age, so all the responsibilities fell on her young shoulders. Lakshmibai’s husband was a Revenue Officer and the British had conferred the title of ‘Mulki Patil’ (village officer) on him.

She was married to Tukaram Patil at the age of thirteen and came to Shirdi. Lakshmibai hailed from a village near Yeola.
