chhand bhare bhuvan ghor kathor rav rabi baji taji maragu chale. chikkarahian diggaj dol mahi ahi kol koorum kalamale॥ sur asur muni kar kan dinhean sakal bikal bicharahian. kodand khandeu ram tulasi jayati bachan ucharahian॥

bhavarth-

ghor, kathor shabd se (sab) lok bhar ge, soory ke gho de marg chho dakar chalane lage. diggaj chiggha dane lage, dharati dolane lagi, shesh, varah aur kachchhap kalamala uthe. devata, rakshas aur muni kanoan par hath rakhakar sab vyakul hokar vicharane lage. tulasidas kahate haian; (jab sab ko nishchay ho gaya ki) ram ne dhanush ko to d dala, tab sab 'ram ki jay' bolane lage.

chhand- shabd 'chadh' dhatu se bana hai jisaka arth hai 'ahladit karana', 'khush karana'. yah ahlad varn ya matra ki niyamit sankhya ke vinyay se utpann hota hai. is prakar, chhand ki paribhasha hogi 'varnoan ya matraoan ke niyamit sankhya ke vinyas se yadi ahlad paida ho, to use chhand kahate haian'. chhand ka sarvapratham ullekh 'rrigved' mean milata hai. jis prakar gady ka niyamak vyakaran hai, usi prakar pady ka chhand shastr hai.
