धर्मदास को
जाति लुहाड्यो जोय ।
नाम कल्याण सु जानिये, कवि को मामो सोय ।।
पूत लघु,
ताकै पढ़िये कारने, कियो ग्रन्थ यह जोध ।
नाम समकित कोमुदी, दायक केवल वोध || इहै समकित कौमुदी, जो नर पढ़ें सुभाय ।
सो सुर नर सुख पाय के हनो करमि मिव जाय ||
चौपाई
दीस |
सवत् सत्रासं चोबीस फागन बुदि तेरस शुभ शुक्रवार सो पूरन मई, इहै कथा समकित गुन उई ।।
