    • c. 1976 (V.S. 2033), Revd. Edwin Greaves, “गोसाई तुलसीदास का जीवन-चरित”, in Ramchandra Shukla, Brajratna Das, et al., editors, तुलसी ग्रंथावली, volume 3, Kashi [Varanasi]: Nagari Pracharini Sabha, page 21:
      गुसाईं में एक और उत्तम गुण है जो सब कवियों में नहीं पाया जाता। वे अपनी चतुराई दिखलाने के अभिप्राय से नहीं लिखते थे, पर पढ़ने वालों के लिये, और इस कारण से सरला भाषा काम में लाके इस रीति से लिखते थे कि सब लोग समझ सकें।
      gusāī̃ mẽ ek aur uttam guṇ hai jo sab kaviyõ mẽ nahī̃ pāyā jātā. ve apnī caturāī dikhlāne ke abhiprāy se nahī̃ likhte the, par paṛhne vālõ ke liye, aur is kāraṇ se sarlā bhāṣā kām mẽ lāke is rīti se likhte the ki sab log samajh sakẽ.
      Gusain [Tulsidas] has another excellent quality which is not found in all poets. He did not write with the intention of showing off his cleverness, but for the readers, and for this reason he used simple language and wrote in such a way that everyone could understand.
