The villagers reply that it is because someone had passed away, Baba Ji immediately says that a person will die every day (so that he will receive the delicious kheer).

Being pleased, Baba Ji says that everyday there would be a wedding in this village.

This chapter will cover the history when the invaders ransacked Baba Ram Koer Ji's village of Ramdas and looted everything. However, Baba Ji was unaffected but when the looters reached their headquarters in Lahore, their governor who knew about Baba Ji was frightened as he knew that any word which comes out from Baba Ji's mouth turns into reality. So he immediately comes down to Ramdas village and apologises to Baba Ji and asks Baba Ji to list down the items which were stolen so that they are returned. Baba Ji only mentions 3 items which were: a horse, a silk rope and a stand for his falcon. The governor acknowledges them and invites Baba Ji to Lahore. Baba Ji agrees and is brought for a tour of Lahore and upon its completion, Baba Ji asks the governor, "Who will return the looted items if Lahore is ransacked?" Governor is speechless. He later gifts Baba Ji a stubborn horse so that he can test if Baba Ji is indeed miraculous, Baba Ji as usual sat on one side of the horse and without any rein. As Baba Ji rode it, the horse was no longer wild and became tame
