## Original text

किलकत कान्ह घुटुरुवन आवत । मनिमय कनिक नंदके आँगन मुख प्रतिबिंब पकरबे धावत ॥१॥ कबहुँ निरख हरि आप छाँहकों करसों पकरन चाहत । किलकत हँसत राजत द्वै दँतुली पुनि पुनि तिहिं अवगाहत ॥२॥ कनक भूमि पर कर छाया यह उपमा इक राजत । कर कर प्रति पद प्रति मन बसुधा कमल बैठकी साजत ॥३॥ बाल दशा मुख देख जसोदा पुनि पुनि नंद बुलावत । अँचरातर लै ढाँकि सूरके प्रभुकों दूध पिवावत ॥४॥
