Beginning
श्री गणेसाय नमः । अथ रागमाला ग्रंथ लिखते । दोहा - जिहि के रूप न रेख कछु, नैनंनि देखें सम्व । निरमल नाम अनन्त गुन, श्रादि अन्त भर अय्य ।। डिल्ल - प्रथम सरस्वती देव गणेश मनाय के ।
मिश्र सरोमन जान सुबुधि करि पायके ।। कासमखान सुजान कृपा कवि पर करी । रागनि की माला करिवे को चित घरो || दोहा :- सेरवखान के वस में, उपज्यो कासमखान ।

निस दीपक ज्यो चन्द्रमा, दिन दीपक ज्यो मान । afa वरने छवि स्वनि की, सो वरनी नहि जाय || कासम खान सुजान को अङ्ग रहि छवि छाय || +

हनमत मत्त सकेत जिहि, भाषाकरि प्रकाश | नाव घरथो या ग्रथ को कासम रसिक विलास ।
The end of the work is as follows:
देशकार सुर खरज ग्रिह arer fरतु निस त रहे,
सपूरन सुविधार गाइ पांचों नार ॥
