Answers
When Baldeo saw the tiger, he felt scared of it but at the same time, he found it pointless to run away from there. Instead, he fought with the tiger bravely and tried to defend himself from it. He fought with the tiger bravely with his saw which is symbolic of the strong determination and the inherent power which the men in his family have been possessing. He put his life in danger but killed the tiger so as to make his people free from the threat of it in the future.
The tiger was used to of preying on humans for years and hence it moved rapidly towards Baldeo. It came very swiftly towards Baldeo and fearlessly struck out its right paw on him. Baldeo leaped and escaped the paw of the tiger and with the help of his axe wounded the fierceful animal.
