## Original text

देखौ गोपालजूकी लीला ठाटी । सूर ब्रह्मादिक अचरज ह्वे हे जसुमति हाथ लिये रजु साँटी ॥१॥ ये सब ग्वाल प्रगट कहत हैं श्याम मनोहर खाई माँटी । बदन उघार भीतर देख्यों त्रिभुवन रूप बैराटी ॥२॥ केशवके गुन वेद बखाने शेष सहस मुख साटी लाटी । लख्यौ न जाय अंत अंतरगति बुधि न प्रवेश कठिन यह घाटी ॥३॥ जन्म कर्म गुन श्यामके बखानत समुझ न परै गूढ़ परपाटी । जाके शरन गये भय नाँहीं सो सिंधु परमानंद दाटी ॥४॥
