Explanation

Tulsidas was a prominent 16th-century saint and poet of the Bhakti movement [1]. His most celebrated work is the 'Ramcharitmanas', an epic retelling of the Ramayana in the Awadhi dialect [2]. He is also the confirmed author of 'Kavitavali', which narrates the life of Lord Rama in various poetic meters like dohas and kavitts [2]. While Tulsidas authored several other works such as 'Vinaya Patrika', 'Gitavali', and 'Dohavali', 'Padavali' is not attributed to him [2]. Instead, 'Padavali' is a collection of devotional verses famously associated with the poet-saint Mirabai, expressing her personal connection with Krishna. Therefore, only statements 1 and 3 are correct regarding Tulsidas's authorship.
