One following Mira Shah perhaps is a sage (9)
I believe the answer is:
maharishi
'sage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'one following mira shah perhaps' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (roman numeral).
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'mira'+'shah'='mirashah'
'mirashah' anagrammed gives 'maharish'.
'i' put after 'maharish' is 'MAHARISHI'.
'is a' is the link.
(Other definitions for maharishi that I've seen before include "Seasoned beef-pork sausage" , "Teacher of Hindu mysticism" , "Hindu spiritual leader" , "Spiritual teacher" , "Hindu instructor" .)
