## Original text

चौकतें उठिकें नंदरानीनें ढोटा पलना माँझ सुवायौ । पहलें डोरि लई जसुमति कर थोरे थोरे बैठि झुलायौ ॥१॥ झगुली पीत कुलह पहराई तासों लटकन गूँथि बनायौ । नैन आँजिकें दियो दिठौना अरु पाँयन नूपुर पहरायौ ॥२॥ फिरि फिरि निरखि निरखि सुंदर मुख डारनि राईलोन उतारी । श्रीविठ्ठल गिरिधरनलालके मंगल गावति सब ब्रजनारी ॥३॥
