Answer:

As she already had five sons, Santosh's grandmother said to the saint that they did not want a son. The saint was amazed to hear this and blessed her alternatively. The blessing turned into a reality as Santosh was born. She was the youngest child, a sister to five brothers.

The 'holy man' had assumed that Santosh's mother wanted a son as the part of the society she belonged, so regarded he gave blessing for birth of a son.The part of India where Santosh was born has a negative bias against girl child.

So the holy man was surprised because Santosh's grandmother wished for a girl child.
