सति वचन मुख कहे, पाप गुन पाप न बोले ।
सुगुरु वचन परतीत चित्त थे कदै न डोले । बोल सुबेन परिनिष्ठ सुन ईष्ट बैन सब सुख करै।
कहै चंद वसत जग फद मैं ए: सुभाव सजन धरै ।। In the words of the poet, foolish persons are just reverse of the noble persons -
जाके जीव परपच रंच मुख नाहि सजन को।
महा मोह मद लोन, फिर भूलो निज धन को। अवगुन गहि गुन तज, भजे कायर ज्यो रन मैं ।
सूर पनी निज नही, कही जानपनो निन मै। जिन मै न भेद परि आपको सो अजान पमु सारिखो ।
हिरदे हरप निज परख विन ए मू ढन को पारखो।

जिहा राज राज अलीग्वान गाजी खान न सरनद । मिरदार सकल पठारण माही ज्यू नखेत्र मै चद ।। धरसी को नद जटमन, जात नाहर ताम । जिन कही कथा वनाय करि बिच सबला मै ठान ।।
The work is full of Vira Rasa but in some places where the beauty of Padmini has been described. SRANGARA RASA" has also bern used. Raghava describes the qualities of Padmini's beauty before Allauddin as.under'
पद्मावति मुखचद पदम सम गंध जु प्रावति । भवर भमै चहू पोर देख सुर..प्रमुर लुभावति ।।
