चतुर्दशोपि भक्तस्य रसिकानां शिखामणेः |

अरणस्यापि चरितं मधुरं परिकीर्त्यते ||

ततः पञ्चदशे प्रोक्तं वैष्णवानन्दवर्धनम् |

कोदण्डरामचरितं कलिकल्मषनाशनम् ||

षोडशे राजगोपालदेशिकस्य महामुनेः |

भगवद्विरहो व्यक्तं रङ्गयात्रा च गीयते ||

अथ सप्तदशे शैलं प्राप्य गोपालदेशिकः |

दृढविक्ष्वाससम्युक्तः प्रपेदे शरणं हरिम् ||

अष्टादशे रामचन्द्रः सीतया भक्तवत्सलः |

गोपालदेषिकस्यास्य कृपया दर्शनं ददौ ||

एकोनविंशाध्याये तु राजगोपालदेशिकः |

भुवनं पावयामास निजपादाब्जरेणुना ||

विंशोपि राजगोपालं रामभक्तं दृढव्रतम् |

कृपयाssनन्दयामास भक्तकोलाहलो हरिः ||

एकविंशतमेsध्याये राजगोपालदेशिकः |

भक्तकोलाहलस्यैव प्राप तत्पदम् ||
