महा सुख छायो आज सुहायो श्रीविट्ठलेशके ओक ॥ ज्ञानरूप महाप्रभु प्रकट भये श्रीयदुपति या भुवलोक ॥१॥ ध्वजा पताका पोहोप माल मणि मोतिन पूरे चोक ॥ गाय सिंगार ग्वाल सब आये कृष्ण सुबल अरुतोक ॥२॥ झुंडन जुरि आई व्रज तरुणी राजत अपने थोक ॥ प्रेम विवश भये कबहुंक गावत बांधितानकी झोक ॥३॥ जयजय बोलत डोलत चहुं दिश हरखभरे पुरलोक ॥ रसिकदास कहा वरणि सके मुख महा मूढ मति फोक ॥४॥
