चौपाई

रचे रुचिर बर बंदनिबारे। मनहुँ मनोभवँ फंद सँवारे।। 
 मंगल कलस अनेक बनाए। ध्वज पताक पट चमर सुहाए।।
 दीप मनोहर मनिमय नाना। जाइ न बरनि बिचित्र बिताना।। 
 जेहिं मंडप दुलहिनि बैदेही। सो बरनै असि मति कबि केही।।
 दूलहु रामु रूप गुन सागर। सो बितानु तिहुँ लोक उजागर।। 
 जनक भवन कै सौभा जैसी। गृह गृह प्रति पुर देखिअ तैसी।।
 जेहिं तेरहुति तेहि समय निहारी। तेहि लघु लगहिं भुवन दस चारी।। 
 जो संपदा नीच गृह सोहा। सो बिलोकि सुरनायक मोहा।।

दोहा/सोरठा

बसइ नगर जेहि लच्छ करि कपट नारि बर बेषु।। 
 तेहि पुर कै सोभा कहत सकुचहिं सारद सेषु।।289।।
