सप्तरात्रि जो जापहिं नामा।वाको पूरन हो सब कामा॥

नव दिन जाप करे जो कोई।व्याधि रहित ताकर तन होई॥

ध्यान करै जो बन्ध्या नारी।पावै पुत्रादिक फल चारी॥

प्रातः सायं अरु मध्याना।धरे ध्यान होवै कल्याना॥

कहँ लगि महिमा कहौं तिहारी।नाम सदा शुभ मंगलकारी॥

पाठ करै जो नित्य चालीसा।तेहि पर कृपा करहिं गौरीशा॥

चालीसा रचना कियौं,तव चरणन को दास॥
