His works include Jiv Samjhotari, Varan Vidya, Har Ras, Harilila, Nikalang Puran, Suraj Stotra and stray sabads. They deal with karma, gyan, bhakti, yog, niti and stuti in various ways. Nikalang Puran describes the Kalki Incarnation. Cokhnathji's stray verses and sabads describe Jasnathji's life and some lilas of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna. With the help of his poems Cokhnathji has ridiculed the degenerating standards of human behaviour. Haroji, Sobhoji Soni, Karamoji Bhambhu, Pancoji, and Nathoji were other poets of this Sampraday whose stray verses und sabads deal with human duties, divine attributes and other preaching.
