Answer 1

Answer: Salim was surprised to see Tansen as he was dressed in a

simple silk robe and was wearing old shoes embroidered with

gold. He was also not riding a horse like the other court men.

Tansen was famous for his music at Akbar‟s court. He had a great

knowledge about Ragas and tunes

Tansen was very impressed by the melodious tunes of the

songs which Salim sang. They were „Raga Bhairavi‟ and „Raga

Malahar‟. Tansen came to know that Salim could not afford to go

to learn music. So, he decided to teach music to Salim.
