सुखकर्ता दुखहर्ता वार्ता विघ्नाची | नुरवी पूर्वी प्रेम कृपा जयाची | सर्वांगी सुंदर उटी शेंदुराची | कंठी झळके माळ मुक्ताफळाची || १ ||
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ती | दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पुरती || रत्नखचित फरा तूज गौरीकुमरा | चंदनाची उटी कुंकुमकेशरा | हिरे जडित मुकुट शोभतो बरा | रुणझुणती नुपुरे चरणी घागरिया || 2 ||
लंबोदर पितांबर फनी वरवंदना | सरळ सोंड वक्रतुंड त्रिनयना | दास रामाचा वाट पाहे सदना | संकटी पावावे निर्वाणी रक्षावे सुरवंदना | जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ती | दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पुरती || ३ ||
