뚤시다스는 힌디 람박띠문학의 대표적인 시인이며 그의 대표작, 람짜리뜨마나스는 북부 인도의 바이블이라고 불릴 정도로 대중에게 영향을 미치고 있다. 이 글에서 다룰 까비따왈리는 람짜리뜨마나스와 대비되는 성격으로 주목받고 있다. 시인은 자신의 시대와 사회의 현실을 근본적으로 깔리깔(말세)로 인식했는데 람짜리뜨마나스에서는 깔리깔이라는 현실세계에 대한 해결책으로 람라져(Rma Rjya)의 이상적인 세계를 제시하고 있다면 까비따왈리에서는 자신이 직접 체험한 고통뿐인 깔리깔의 현실을 적나라하게 표현하고 있다. 이 글에서는 『람짜리뜨마나스』와 비교하여 까비따왈리의 내용과 그 구성상의 특징을 살펴보고 텍스트를 토대로 이 작품의 특성을 이 작품에 나타난 신과 인간에 대한 이해와 신과 인간의 합일에 대한 견해, 사회에 대한 인식 그리고 마지막으로 형상화의 특징을 중심으로 분석하여 뚤시다스가 철저한 현실인식을 가지고 있었고 까비따왈리에서 자신의 현실인식을 사실적으로 표현하여 『람짜리뜨마나스』에서 드러내지 않았던 자신의 관점과 견해와 태도를 분명히 드러내며 그의 문학세계가 다원적이었음을 보여주고 있음을 밝혔다.

Tulasīdāsa is the most representative poet in the Hindi Rām Bhakti tradition and his great epic, Rāmcaritmānasa described the life of Rāma has been so tremendously exerting influence upon the life of indian people and society that it has been regarded as the Bilbe of North India. Although Kavitāvalī, the textual basis of this writing, is also related to the story of Rāma, it is remarkable that the chief characteristics of Kavitāvalī are different from those of Rāmcaritmānasa. The poet showed the view that his time and society was suffering because of the traits of Kalikal, the degenerate age in both works. And he gave the direct expression to the severe realities of Kailkal which he himself suffered in Kavitāvali while he projected the ideal society namely Rāma Rājya (the reign of Rāma) as the solution of Kalikal in Rāmcaritmānasa The purpose of this writing is to bring light to the fact that the literary world of Tulasīdāsa is multi dimensional by analyzing some aspects such as the views of God and human being, the path for the unification of man with God, the understanding of society expressed in Kavitāvali and the formal characteristics of this work. On the basis of textual analysis it can be said that he was keenly conscious of his time and society. And the fact that not only he described his social consciousness in realistic way but also showed his generous point of view and attitude towards humble, poor and suffering people in Kavitāvali that was not clearly manifested in Rāmcaritmānasa indicates that his literary world is multi dimensional.
