1. मायाचन्द को नन्दन जानि, गौन पाटगी सुख को खानि । मेवाराम नाम ही सही, भाषा कवि को जानो हो । श्रत्यबुद्धि मेरी प्रति घरी, कविजन मो विनति इह भली । भूल चूक जो लेहु सुधारि इहि अरज मेरी अविधारि ॥ सवन् भ्रष्टादश शत जांनि, और पचास अधिक हो मानि ।
सोमवार के मांहि ॥
भादो मास प्रथम पक्षि माहि, पांचें तत्र वह ग्रन्थ सपूर्ण कीयो, कवि जन मन
वांछित फल
लियो ।
