चौपाई

सयन कीन्ह नृप आयसु मानी। आसन जाइ बैठ छलग्यानी।। 
 श्रमित भूप निद्रा अति आई। सो किमि सोव सोच अधिकाई।।
 कालकेतु निसिचर तहँ आवा। जेहिं सूकर होइ नृपहि भुलावा।। 
 परम मित्र तापस नृप केरा। जानइ सो अति कपट घनेरा।।
 तेहि के सत सुत अरु दस भाई। खल अति अजय देव दुखदाई।। 
 प्रथमहि भूप समर सब मारे। बिप्र संत सुर देखि दुखारे।।
 तेहिं खल पाछिल बयरु सँभरा। तापस नृप मिलि मंत्र बिचारा।। 
 जेहि रिपु छय सोइ रचेन्हि उपाऊ। भावी बस न जान कछु राऊ।।

दोहा/सोरठा

रिपु तेजसी अकेल अपि लघु करि गनिअ न ताहु। 
 अजहुँ देत दुख रबि ससिहि सिर अवसेषित राहु।।170।।
