Language
The language is very juvenile conforming to the popular belief that it was created by the boy Tulasidas. There are 2 couplets in the beginning and one couplet at the ending between the 40 verses of Chalisa. The Chalisa details Hanuman in the order of his knowledge, devotion to Rama and man without any desire. As with the case of devotional literature, Tulasidas starts the poem with two couplets praising his Guru (teacher). The language of Chalisa is in the refined Avandhi language.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Upon my tongues continual slanders ride,
The which in every language I pronounce,
Stuffing the ears of men with false reports.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
