The excerpts from Chapter 24 provide some details about the physical state and age of both Anna and Mavshibai. It is explicitly mentioned that Anna had "crossed fifty" and that he "had no teeth in his mouth." This suggests he was an elderly man. Similarly, the text describes Mavshibai as being of "mature age," positioning her as a contemporary to Anna. She is also described as a widow. When she jokingly accuses Anna of trying to kiss her, she mentions his "gray hair," further reinforcing the image of him as an older individual. The text uses these descriptions to frame the subsequent quarrel as a humorous interaction between two older devotees.
